What this plan covers

Made for visitors who want Koh Larn overnight rather than squeezing the island into a day trip, this two-day outline leaves room for several beaches and an easy pace. Day one handles the Pattaya crossing, Na Ban Pier and Nual Beach; day two adds Koh Lan Viewpoint and Thong Lang Beach before the ride back. Arrange overnight accommodation and check ferry schedules before leaving Pattaya. Sort your island stay and return crossing before you set off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Koh Larn overnight enough time for beaches and viewpoints?
Two days give you time for several beach stops, a viewpoint and an overnight stay without compressing everything into a day trip. Keep day one for the crossing and Nual Beach, then visit Koh Lan Viewpoint and Thong Lang Beach before returning on day two.
What should you arrange before leaving Pattaya?
Arrange your overnight accommodation first and check ferry schedules before you leave. Pattaya passenger boats have listed departures, and Koh Lan departures from Na Ban Pier have a separate schedule. Check the boat operator for current crossing details before you set out.
What should you wear and bring for the island days?
Thailand’s hot season runs from mid-February to mid-May, and its rainy season runs from mid-May to mid-October, so consider the season when packing for beach time. If you add a Buddhist temple in Pattaya, take off your shoes before entering.
How do you get around between the island stops?
Passenger boats connect Pattaya with Na Ban Pier on Ko Lan. The ferry journey takes 45 minutes and the speedboat journey takes 15 minutes. On the island, minibuses and motorbike taxis operate, and motorbikes can be rented. Check with boat operators for beach-transfer times.
Where should you stay for a two-day Koh Larn visit?
Stay on Ko Lan if you want the overnight island experience and close access to the beach stops. Pattaya Beach and Jomtien Beach are mainland options if you prefer to sleep in Pattaya before or after the crossing.
