Pattaya —The picturesque island of Koh Larn welcomed more than 5,000-6,000 visitors over the past weekend as the island remains one of the top picks for a diverse mix of tourists.

This influx of visitors has prompted Pattaya City to deploy special task force personnel to assist tourists and ensure their convenience at transportation spots between Koh Larn and the mainland. The task force anticipated that on weekends, there are over 5,000-6,000 visitors who travel to Koh Larn.

 

Golf carts to accommodate elderly tourists have also been arranged at the ferry spots.

I would imagine the up-take at weekend is more to do with locals, foreigners possibly staying for a few more days.

Also foreigners, many Asians. There are now many more bars and hotels/family hotels on the island compared to 10 years ago. I usually park at the Bali Hai pier automated parking, board the boat around 9AM, by 10 AM am on the beach then leave around 4PM to catch the 5PM boat. Parking is about 250 max 300 THB for the day, there are free parking spaces around but get filled up early and too many mobs.
