How to Get from Pattaya to Koh Larn
Contents

Koh Larn, known as Coral Island, lies about 7.5 kilometres off Pattaya.[1] The city's neon fades behind you, and the island's white beaches, coral reefs and glass-bottom boats feel a world away. The crossing is short, so you can go over for a day of snorkelling or stay a night or two.
