Reviews: Pattaya 6996 show Nighttime Happy Trip

There will be one person in-charge waiting at the point to gather all clients of the same time to walk to 69 theatre together. The show is definitely and eye-opening experience for me. It’s surprisingly mixed with artistic performance.
Reviews: Pattaya - Ko Lan Trip (Tien-Beach)with Beach Activities and Drone Photos

A good excursion if you take all the activities. But be prepared for everything to be done in one round: parasailing, quad biking, banana boat rides, and so on. The snorkeling was terrible; there was nothing to see. After the activities, you have three hours on the island. You can walk to other beaches. The lunch was average.
Reviews: [Tien Beach - the most beautiful ] One-day tour to Ko Lan in Pattaya, Thailand

For this price, the value for money is almost unbeatable. Our guide, Ah Si, knew the route well and took meticulous care of us along the way. I've forgotten the name of the guide/photographer, but he took photos for all the families along the way and provided a download link in the evening. Free towels and seasickness medication were provided, and a songthaew (shared taxi) was arranged for pick-up and drop-off. The only downsides were that the water at the snorkeling spot was a bit murky, and the provided snorkeling mask leaked slightly, affecting the experience. I recommend bringing your own snorkeling mask for hygiene and reliability. Overall, it was a very good one-day island tour.

This tour is worth joining. Although each activity is short, you can try a variety of water activities in one go. There's also a small water park, and the kids have a great time.
Reviews: From Bangkok: Pattaya Island Trip with Beach Activities and Drone Photos

I participated with two friends. They picked us up at our hotel in Bangkok near Sukhumvit and the car was a large Hiace with a spacious interior, so we had a comfortable two-hour ride to Pattaya. In the morning, we stopped at a parking lot on the highway for a restroom break. We arrived at Koh Larn by speedboat in 15-20 minutes from Bali Hai Pier in Pattaya. We had a very relaxing time on the island. It was a very good tour, especially considering the price. I'd like to thank the staff.

Yesterday, our group of friends joined a day trip to Koh Larn. We chose a package deal that didn't include lunch, but the experience was surprisingly more flexible and comfortable! A special thank you to our guide, Ahua; he was incredibly professional and enthusiastic, meticulously coordinating our large group throughout the trip. He proactively helped us take many beautiful travel photos and constantly reminded us to be careful and use sunscreen. His service truly exceeded the value of the boat ticket. We were on two spacious speedboats. The water at Tawaen Beach was so clear, and we had a fantastic time with the free paddleboarding and snorkeling. Lunch wasn't included, so we found our own restaurants on the island and ate seafood, which allowed us to choose according to our own tastes – very flexible. The itinerary was relaxed, and Ahua managed the time very well, ensuring we had a great time without rushing. Having someone to coordinate things with 28 people was a huge relief. It would have been even better if the return pick-up and drop-off were faster, but overall, we were extremely satisfied. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a free and easy boat trip!
