Ko Lan or “Coral Island”, is a small island situated 7.5 km west of Pattaya. The Island is around 4km long and 2km wide and is home to approximately one thousand residents. Most of the locals reside in the main village, Naban. There are six beaches on the island that has white sand and clear blue water, 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. The terrain is mainly mountainous which is covered in most part with jungle

Ko Lan is accessible by speedboat and ferry. The ferry departs hourly from 10.00 am to 6.30 pm, and is a 45-minute ride costing just 20 baht each way. Speedboats are more expensive, but can reach the island in less than 15 minutes.
