A short boat ride from Bali Hai Pier takes you to noticeably clearer water and whiter sand than mainland Pattaya offers. Koh Larn has several named beaches to choose from, ranging from lively stretches with jet-skis and parasailing to quieter coves, making it a popular full-day escape from the city.
