Why go
This route is for visitors who want to compare Ko Lan beaches rather than add mainland sights. Start at Tawaen Beach Ko Lan, then use local island transport to reach Tien Beach Ko Lan and continue to Samae Beach Ko Lan. Arrange each transfer on the island and confirm the return journey before committing to the final stop. Spend your walking time at the beaches rather than assuming a short path between them; the roads across the island can be exposed in heat. Three beaches make a relaxed day when each gets time for a walk and a rest. Check boat arrangements and sea conditions before leaving Pattaya. The route begins on Ko Lan and does not assume a particular mainland departure service.
