Tien Beach

The eight-minute walk in is exactly why this Koh Larn beach stays calmer than the rest.

Why go, and how to do it well

The walk is the whole point. You leave the access road and go about eight minutes on foot to reach the sand, and that small barrier keeps the crowds thinner than at Koh Larn's easier beaches. Clear water, clean sand, and a few meters in you're standing on the fine stuff rather than coral rubble. Geese wander the shoreline, which nobody warns you about and everybody remembers.

Loungers rent for 100 baht, the restrooms cost 10 baht, showers 50. Jet skis run 600 baht for 15 minutes or 1,000 for 30. Food and drink at the beachfront places is priced for a captive audience, so I'd eat in the market area near the pier and bring water. In peak season the place fills up properly. Turn up at 1pm on a busy weekend and you may not find a sunbed at any price. Weekday mornings are a different beach entirely.

Clean and crystal clear beach. To reach here you can take sharing Songtaew after entering almost 400-500m from the Na Baan pier to inside of the island. The cost is 30 baht per person. The beach itself is lovely and there’s ton of activities to do. For example Jet Ski is 600 for 15mins and 1000 baht for 30mins (you can ride in your own). Sun bed rental 100 baht. Food and drinks extremely overpriced at the island so it’s better to have it inside the market area. Washroom is bit towards far end of the island and it’s 10 baht. Shower 50 baht.

Awesome beach with geese hanging around. It was a beautiful day with an amazing breeze so it was very comfortable.

A beautiful beach. There are beach lounges for rent for 100 baht. Restrooms cost 10 baht. Showers 50 baht.

Tips for Visiting Beaches

Go Early for Empty Sand

Even the busiest beaches are nearly deserted before 9 AM. A sunrise walk is the best hour of the day on the sand, and you'll beat the heat for a morning swim.

Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen

Many Thai marine parks ban chemical sunscreens that damage coral. Bring reef-safe (mineral/zinc-based) sunscreen from home — it's harder to find and pricier in Thailand.
