First of all, I want to describe the beaches of Pattaya. Very many travelers booked a tour to an expensive hotel, such as “The Royal Cliff Pattaya” and spend your entire vacation on the hotel territory. The travelers are swimming in the pool and visiting the Pattaya Beaches.
All the beaches of Pattaya are just very bad. There is dirty water, lots of tourists and debris on the Pattaya city beaches. Sometimes I feel sorrow to see the people who were resting at The Royal Cliff and believe that they have visited Thailand! Very often these people publish on the internet photos and video reports from the beaches of Pattaya. All of these people are not happy, they say how dirty the water in Thailand. They say that they prefer Egypt, instead of Thailand.
How are all these people are wrong. In just 30 Baht ($ 1) you can sail on a ferry to the Ko Lan Island and spend time in a tropical paradise!
Thailand – it is not a country to stay in the hotel. In this country, you need to be always a solo traveler. But I will not rush things ☺
I will say only that You can find wonderful beaches, on the island of Ko Lan, not so far from Pattaya (It’s over if you never been in the Krabi Province, but more on that later).
Do not take an excursion to Koh Lan, which costs 150 Baht ($ 5) in no case. The excursion ferry arriving always on the same beach. You can just buy a ticket to Ko Lan for 30 Baht ($ 1) and then drive on a motorcycle (The island’s taxi) on any beach of the island. And to be even more cunning, the ferry runs on a completely different beach, far more picturesque, in the special time.
But I found a paradise beach on the Ko Lan. The ferry does not arrive to this beach. This beach does not have a dock. You will find only 12 sun beds and a small bar on this beach
To get to this beach – ask a taxi driver (on a motorcycle) to take you into the most little bay. Or, even better, you can find this bay on the Google maps and show the taxi driver this beach on your iPhone or iPad.
