If you’ve ever dreamt of an island paradise all to yourself, you’ll want to take a trip to Ko Larn. Also known as Coral Island, it has everything you could possibly want from a beach getaway, and is far enough from Pattaya Beach that it feels like you are retreating into the wilderness. The minute you get onto the speedboat and head into open seas, you’ll feel an invigorating sense of freshness and renewal. This only intensifies when you catch your first glimpse of the island itself: glistening white sand stretching out in every direction, turquoise waters and a coastline unblemished by any rocks or imperfections. And this is only one of six main beaches that the island has on offer, ensuring that you will never have to jostle with other tourists for space. Fancy basking in the glorious heat of the sun? The beaches offer deck chairs and umbrellas for rent, where you can fall asleep to the sound of water rhythmically lapping against the shore. Feeling a little more adventurous? There are plenty of water sports to try out, from parasailing to snorkeling to jetskiing. And if you’re looking for something a little more out of the ordinary, you can have your muscle knots worked out by a beach masseuse, or have your body tattooed with henna. There’s something for every kind of traveler at this beach.
