Beyond the Beach
Pattaya

A 30-minute boat ride from Pattaya, Koh Lan has long been a popular weekend getaway for both locals and foreigners seeking to soak in the sun and the Gulf of Thailand’s aquamarine waters.

In recent years, the island has bloomed with stylish boutique hotels and charming cafes, each boasting a unique ambiance. Improved roads now make exploring Koh Lan by motorbike a convenient and enjoyable way to soak in the fresh scenery. And safety is a priority, with a network of over 200 CCTV cameras installed across the island to keep visitors and residents secure around the clock.
