Ko Lan (Coral Island)
Coral Island is an outstanding island and comes closer than most to fulfilling that seductive mental image, we all are seen to have of discovering a remote, perfect, untouched island escape where the sand is pure and white the water translucent the sunsets religiously inspiring and the crowds far away.
Lying about 7.5 kilometers off of Pattaya by a 45-minute ferry or 15 minutes by speed boat ride, the island measures 2 kilometers by 5 kilometers and offers several white sandy beaches, notably Hat Ta Waen, Hat Laem Thian and Hat Thong Long, the latter facing coral reefs. Visitors can choose either snorkeling or viewing the coral from glass bottom boats. Ferries to the island leave South Pattaya pier daily from 10.00 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. Cruises by sailing junks, with lunch provided are also available.
