After getting dropped off on the beach, the rest of the day is yours to spend snorkeling, enjoying tasty Thai dishes, swimming, or just soaking up the rays on the sand.

Start your day with convenient pickup from your Pattaya hotel that brings you to Pattaya Pier. Here, board a boat and enjoy a brief trip across the water to Coral Island, known locally as Koh Lan. You're dropped off on one of the white-sand beaches that ring the island, after which you're free for the rest of the day.

Find a spot on the sand and set up to wind down with the rays of the sun warming your skin. If you're feeling active, rent snorkeling or aquatic sports gear at your own expense and make the most of the waves that lap against the shore. For lunch, head to an open-air restaurant right on the beach and treat yourself to a delicious meal of Thai cuisine. Wrap up your day in the evening by climbing aboard your boat once more and cruising back to Pattaya.
