Thong Lang Beach
If you’re seeking a beach on Koh Larn that offers a peaceful escape from the crowds of Tawaen Beach but maintains perfectly clear waters, Thong Lang Beach is your best bet!
Thong Lang Koh Larn’s Peaceful Escape
This small beach is located on the northern side of Koh Larn, adjacent to the famous Tawaen Beach, making it easy to reach. Yet, it provides a much more quiet and private atmosphere, making it ideal for those who truly want to relax and unwind.
Key Highlights and Attractions
Despite its size, Thong Lang Beach is full of charm and offers a good variety of activities.
- Clear Water & White Sand The water here is beautifully clear and inviting, perfect for swimming and relaxation. The beach features nice, white sand (though slightly coarser than some other beaches), and despite the steeper slope of the sand, it’s a wonderfully tranquil spot.
- Pure Relaxation The calm, shaded environment makes it perfect for sunbathing or just sitting under the trees, listening to the gentle lapping of the waves—pure vacation bliss.
- Water Sports Available For those who want action, you can still find services here offering jet ski and banana boat rentals, just like the larger beaches.
The Ultimate Photo Spot
The main highlight that draws photo enthusiasts to Thong Lang Beach is its secret gem.
Passing Boats View Since it’s near the Tawaen Pier area, you can often capture pictures of small and large tour boats passing by, which adds a lively dynamic to the sea view.
The “Red Cave”
This is the famous hidden spot! It’s a small, curved tunnel or archway carved into the rock, set dramatically against the beach and the clear blue sea. It offers a unique and beautiful backdrop. If you want a truly one-of-a-kind photo from Koh Larn, you must check out the Red Cave!
Getting There and Logistics
Location North of Tawaen Beach.
Getting There It is highly recommended to rent a motorbike as there is a concrete road that leads directly to the beach, making the journey much easier than walking under the sun.
Accommodation
There are some beachfront accommodations available, and dining options are provided, though the restaurants often cater to organized tour groups.
