Thai Coral Island in Thai Koh Larn has some of the most beautiful beaches with huge coral reefs. These beaches with white and shiny golden sand with azure waters are perfect and create a beautiful contrast of freshness and soothing tropical colors.
Coral Island near the city of Pattaya and the largest island among the inland islands is beyond the pressure and bustle of Pattaya. The island is four and a half kilometers long and two kilometers wide. It has beautiful beaches with clear waters and an interior full of mountain forests. The distance of the coral island to the nearest beach of Pattaya is about 7 km and the only communication route is by sea. Most tourists visit the Coral Island on a daily or half-day tour, which is much cleaner than the city beaches of Pattaya. Fewer tourists stay on the island for one or two nights or more.
The main village of the island is Na Ban village, which is inhabited by about a thousand people.
The land of this island is mostly mountainous and in most parts, it is covered with heavy vegetation and wild monkeys. There are also about six beaches with white sand and clear blue water, the best of which are found on the west side of the island.
The long sandy beach of Tawaen is the most popular destination on the coral island, which is very crowded during the peak tourist season. The beach’s restaurants serve seafood, Thai and international cuisine. Beachfront cafes bring cocktails, fruits and ice cream straight to your beach chair. Visitors to the Pattaya Tour have a choice of several resorts to spend the night on the beach. This beach can be reached directly by rental boat or from the Bali pier in Pattaya.
The Mai Samraan Temple on the Coral Island is one of the most famous sacred temples in Thailand, with a small courtyard with many interesting Buddha statues with colorful decorations and a relaxed atmosphere. The temple can be easily reached on foot from the coral island pier, as it is located right in the center of its small village.
The sandy beach of Samae is more than 500 meters long and the swimming area is fenced for the safety of swimmers and beach chairs are rented. A few steps from the beach is a place for tourists who want to spend the night on the island.
For the best views of Coral Island, head to the Khao Nom scenery near Samae Beach. From there you will have a great view of the island’s forest, the Samae coast, the ocean and several small islands in the Gulf of Thailand.
If you are looking for excitement, try Coral Island Parasailing in Pattaya Tour. From a floating pier on the sea halfway between Pattaya and the island, a motorboat lifts a parachute in the air and gives you a lot of excitement over the sea.
Slightly shorter than Samae and Tawaen, Tien Beach has a beautiful sandy beach covered with groves and a great view of the coral island behind it. Although very attractive with white sand and clear blue waters, Tien is one of the secluded beaches on the island, there are several restaurants on the beach but accommodation options are limited.
The view of Kuan Yin on the Coral Island is a must for any tourist touring Pattaya, this part of the city to date is the most beautiful view of the island that can be easily reached. It is only a few minutes away from the port and the main beach (Tavin beach). On the way to this view, you will pass a giant Buddha statue – another attraction of Coral Island.
Getting around the coral island is very easy and cheap and is done by motorcycle taxi or songthaew, also called robot bus. Robot buses are located near the temple, which is located 100 meters from the main pier of the village. They usually wait to get filled before departure, which often does not take long. On the beaches, there are almost always a few buses on standby to get you where you want to go.
Thailand’s climate varies from place to place, but the best time to visit the country’s beaches is during the winter season, between November and February or December. Pattaya, like most of Thailand, has a typical tropical climate and attracts tourists to Thailand almost all year round. Coral Island near Pattaya, which has several beautiful beaches and natural wonders, also has a tropical, humid and sunny atmosphere.
There are three seasons on the island: hot and dry seasons (December to February), hot and humid seasons (March and April) and hot and rainy seasons (May to November). Naturally, the dry season is the best time to travel with a tour of Pattaya and visit the Coral Island, because the probability of rain is very low and the humidity is below 50%. There is a lot of heavy rainfall on the coral island from May to October and it is not a good time for water fun.
