Morrolan Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I have always just spent my days in Pattaya relaxing and mongering but I would like to do a bit more this time. I would like to go to some of the islands in the area like Koh Lan and Koh Samet. Can anyone recommend a tour operator in Pattaya? Or are these places to avoided because of the tourist overload? Seems like you can just get a boat to Koh Lan and spend the day there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoolpusher Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I would suggest you find a Ladyboy who you are comfortable with and ask her to show you around , there are some great Temples in Pattaya if you are into those. Does anyone if there is a tour from Pattaya to Ayutthaya or is it better to go from Bkk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayglow Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Just hop on the pubilc ferry to Koh larn, then take your choice of beach. Ferries go back and forth all day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferries go back and forth all day That's what I ended up doing and at 30 baht each way it's cheap. At first I was worried with the amount of people on the pier but it all moved pretty quickly no need to pay 400-500 for a speed boat. Then just hopped on the baht bus to the beach. I had thought about trying to do some snorkelling around Pattaya but it worked out better visiting Ko Samet and Ko Chang. Both of these I organised through Pattaya Central on LK Metro. Although the trips end up being joining so I don't think it matters where you buy your ticket. Ko Samet I did as a day trip with pick up and drop off at my hotel. It was a full day but totally worth it. Some nice snorkelling spots around the islands and lunch provided. The only problem was that I was one the last to get dropped off so wasted a bit of time driving around Jomtien and Pattaya. For Koh Chang I just organised transportation and the rest I did myself. I really enjoyed Koh Chang definitely a change of pace from Pattaya which was nice. The snorkelling was great with clear water and lots of fish. Easy to hire a scooter to explore the rest of the island, waterfalls etc. I stayed at white sand beach but didn't do any mongering while there (I did see a few ladyboys around). The guide on one the boat trips made the watch out for those ladyboys jokes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
