Thinking about taking the kids to Koh Larn for the day and maybe getting a hotel for the evening, Iv never been before so not sure what to expect, can anybody recommend any hotels for around 1000 that are walking distance to things, maybe night time market, food stalls etc.

Suntosa is my favorite, just Google or Facebook them for further information.

Koh larn is boring in the evening. Better to go back to mainland.

Lareena Resort By the Sea Koh Lan

 

Just take the main ferry from Bali Hai peer and you'll land right next it, just past the island's only 7-11.  

Close by are motorbikes for rent tuktuks are around also for exploring.  Last time I went there were hoards of Chinese on the other side, this was before the last fatal ferry boat sinking or the Russian being kicked with sand for not renting a beach chair.

 

Hopefully things have improved there, I've never had any trouble there and have always enjoyed my stay.

There are two options for drop off, different beaches, might be more, Russians used to get dropped off at Samae Beach

Yes, as far as I know they are just cleaning up the parking mess or lack of parking by restricting boat trailer parking.
