Koh Lan accommodation from AU$139

Koh Larn is a hilly island that's covered with tropical forest. It's a nice walk to the highest point on the island, which also has a lovely Buddhist shrine atop the peak. There are only two small villages to explore, so walk through the handful of shops, bars and restaurants in Ko Larn and Ban Krok Makham or simply head to the beaches. If you're looking for snorkelling, the best coral is at Thong Lang Beach, or book a tour to get out to some of the more remote locations offshore. Another great experience is a glass-bottomed boat tour, where you can see all the marine life without getting your feet wet! Samae Beach offers the best sunsets on the island, or if you're looking for views the panorama from Khao Nom Lookout is beautiful. Take a great set of photos across the bay and out to Pattaya in the distance.

Ta Waen Beach in the north of the island is the most famous, where you'll find 750m of pure white sand and a tranquil atmosphere that's perfect for a day at the beach. Work on your tan or enjoy a beachfront massage, and if you're looking for adventure a ride on a banana boat is wicked fun. You can even rent a jet ski and go zooming across the bay. Para-sailing is quite popular here, and offers an unparalleled view of the water and the island from the sky. To see a bit more of Koh Larn the best way to explore is to rent a motorbike and visit all of the beaches!

Throw a line in from one of the piers to try your luck catching some of the smaller fish, or take a night squid fishing trip and enjoy your fresh catch hot off the BBQ. Learn to scuba in the calm and clear waters of the gulf, or work on your marksmanship at the shooting range. There's plenty to do on Koh Larn, and once you've got it all done head to the beach, drink a fresh coconut juice and relax in the sun, while you completely enjoy your holiday.

Koh Larn is an ideal destination for your next trip to Thailand, and offers fantastic beaches and a friendly atmosphere that often entices visitors to stay much longer than they initially planned. It's only 2.5 hours from Bangkok, so all you need to do is book your flight to Thailand, and find a great deal on Koh Larn accommodation. Come enjoy your stay in tropical paradise!
