Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Hidden away on the island of Ko Lan, off the coast of Pattaya, lies Ta Yai Beach, attracting visitors who prefer a quieter, less crowded beach. Smaller than the island's more famous beaches, it has retained its natural charm: white sand and clear blue water, largely free of the dense rows of sunbeds found elsewhere on Ko Lan. Nearby cafes, seafood restaurants, and the usual beach amenities ensure a comfortable atmosphere without feeling overcrowded.

The atmosphere is incredibly relaxed. Here you'll find a mix of Thai locals and international visitors who come to Ta Yai primarily for its tranquil setting. Snorkeling and swimming are popular activities thanks to the clear water. The beach is a great base for exploring the surrounding area, as other beaches on Koh Lan are within easy reach for a day trip. Sun loungers and towels cost around 100 baht each, and cold beer is readily available from vendors at reasonable prices.
