Coral Island (Koh Larn) has no entry fee. The island is open to everyone, free of charge. You only pay to get there: a public ferry from Bali Hai Pier costs 30 THB (about INR 75) each way, and a full-day speedboat tour with lunch starts around 800 THB (about INR 2,000) per person.
Coral Island Pattaya prices at a glance
| What you pay for | Cost (THB) | Approx INR |
|---|---|---|
| Island entry fee | Free | Free |
| Public ferry, each way (Bali Hai Pier) | 30 | 75 |
| Shared speedboat seat, round trip | 200 | 500 |
| Private speedboat charter, full day | 450 to 4,200 | 1,125 to 10,500 |
| Full-day tour with lunch, per person | from 800 to 1,500 | from 2,000 to 3,750 |
Koh Larn sits about 7 km off Pattaya. All boats leave from Bali Hai Pier at the south end of Walking Street. The crossing is roughly 45 minutes by ferry or 15 to 20 minutes by speedboat.
Coral Island Pattaya Entry Fee
There is no entrance ticket for Coral Island, and the rule is the same for Indian tourists and foreign visitors. Nobody collects a gate fee, because Koh Larn is a public island rather than a ticketed park. Old blogs that mention an "entry charge" are usually quoting the boat fare, not a fee to set foot on the beach.
So where does the money go? Three things: the boat across (a 30 THB ferry or a speedboat), any water sports you choose on the day, and a beach chair or umbrella if you rent one. Book a full-day tour and those pieces are bundled into one per-person price along with hotel pickup and lunch, which is why a tour costs more than turning up at the pier yourself.
Coral Island Ticket and Tour Price 2026
Because the island itself is free, the "ticket price" people search for is really the cost of the boat plus whatever you add on. Here is what each way of visiting costs in 2026, in both Thai baht and Indian rupees.
| Option | Price (THB) | Approx INR | What is included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Island entry | Free | Free | Open to the public, no ticket |
| Public ferry (each way) | 30 | 75 | Shared passenger ferry to Na Baan pier, Koh Larn |
| Shared speedboat seat | about 200 round trip | about 500 | Faster crossing, seat on a shared boat |
| Private speedboat charter | 450 to 4,200 per day | 1,125 to 10,500 | The whole boat, priced by size and hours |
| Full-day Coral Island tour | from 800 to 1,500 pp | from 2,000 to 3,750 | Speedboat, hotel pickup, Indian or Thai buffet lunch, some water sports |
The cheapest way to see Coral Island is the public ferry: 30 THB each way and you plan the day yourself. The easiest way is a full-day tour, where a single per-person price covers the speedboat, a buffet lunch (many Pattaya operators run a dedicated Indian menu) and a couple of water-sport rides. Families and first-timers usually find the tour better value once you add up the parts.
Ferry vs Speedboat From Bali Hai Pier: Cost and Time
Both the public ferry and the speedboats leave from Bali Hai Pier, and both drop you on Koh Larn. The difference is money against time. Here is the honest comparison so you can pick before you reach the counter.
| Public ferry | Speedboat | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | 30 THB each way (about INR 75) | about 200 THB shared, 450 to 4,200 THB to charter |
| Crossing time | about 45 minutes | 15 to 20 minutes |
| Departs from | Bali Hai Pier | Bali Hai Pier |
| Runs | Roughly hourly through the day | On demand and with tours |
| Best for | Budget travellers, a relaxed day | Groups, families, a time-short trip |
A quick rule of thumb: take the ferry if you are counting baht and happy to leave early, and take the speedboat if you are short on time or travelling with kids who will not sit still for 45 minutes. Most day tours use speedboats, so if you book a package the choice is already made for you.
Water Sports Prices at Coral Island
Koh Larn is where most Pattaya day-trippers try water sports, and Tawaen Beach is the main hub for them. Prices are per ride or per session and are usually paid on the beach, so carry cash and agree the price before you start. These are 2026 ballpark rates.
| Activity | Price (THB) | Approx INR | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parasailing | about 800 | about 2,000 | One flight, harness and boat crew |
| Jet ski | 500 to 1,000 | 1,250 to 2,500 | Per ride, agree the time limit first |
| Banana boat | about 400 | about 1,000 | Shared ride, good for groups and kids |
| Sea walking (undersea walk) | about 1,500 | about 3,750 | Helmet dive on the seabed, no swimming needed |
| Snorkelling gear | 100 to 200 | 250 to 500 | Mask and fins hire; some tours include it free |
On a bundled tour, one or two of these are often included, so check the inclusions before you pay again on the sand. Banana boat rides and sea walking are the easiest for non-swimmers and children, since you wear a life jacket or a weighted helmet and stay with an instructor throughout.
Coral Island Timings, Best Time to Visit and Beaches
Koh Larn is open all day, every day; there is no gate and no closing time on the island itself. What sets your schedule is the boats. Ferries and speedboats from Bali Hai Pier run from roughly 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, and the last boat back typically leaves in the early evening, so confirm the return time at the pier before you sail. Catch a morning boat to get a good spot before the day-tour crowds arrive around 11 am.
The best months are November to March, when the sea is calm, the water is clear and the sky is dry. April to June is hot but fine for the beach, while the May to October green season brings afternoon showers and choppier crossings, so aim for a morning trip in those months. For a day-by-day plan of Pattaya, see the Pattaya travel guide.
Which beach to head for
• Tawaen Beach. The busiest beach, and the base for parasailing, jet skis and banana boats. Most Indian buffet lunches are served here.
• Samae Beach. Quieter and good for swimming, with a gentler crowd than Tawaen and a few relaxed beachfront cafes.
• Tien Beach. Small and calm, the pick for snorkelling and a slower afternoon away from the water-sport engines.
Nual Beach (often called Monkey Beach) is the most secluded of the four and takes a little more effort to reach, which is exactly why it stays quiet.

Pattaya Travel FAQs
Is there an entry fee for Coral Island Pattaya?
No. Coral Island (Koh Larn) has no entry fee, and it is the same for Indian and foreign tourists. The island is open to the public with no gate ticket. You only pay for the boat across, any water sports you choose, and a beach chair if you rent one. A public ferry from Bali Hai Pier is 30 THB (about INR 75) each way.
What is the Coral Island Pattaya ticket or tour price in 2026?
Because the island is free, the ticket price is really the boat plus add-ons. The cheapest option is the 30 THB (about INR 75) public ferry each way. A full-day speedboat tour with hotel pickup, buffet lunch and a couple of water sports usually starts around 800 to 1,500 THB (about INR 2,000 to 3,750) per person.
How much is the ferry from Pattaya to Coral Island?
The public passenger ferry from Bali Hai Pier to Koh Larn costs 30 THB (about INR 75) each way, so 60 THB return. It takes roughly 45 minutes and runs through the day. A shared speedboat seat is faster at about 200 THB round trip, and a private charter runs 450 to 4,200 THB depending on boat size.
Speedboat or ferry, which is better for Coral Island?
Take the ferry if you want the cheapest trip and do not mind a 45-minute crossing and an early start. Take a speedboat if you are short on time or travelling with children, since it reaches Koh Larn in 15 to 20 minutes. Most organised day tours use speedboats, so booking a package decides it for you.
What do water sports cost at Coral Island?
Rates are per ride and paid on the beach, mostly at Tawaen Beach. As a 2026 guide, parasailing is about 800 THB, a jet ski ride is 500 to 1,000 THB, a banana boat is about 400 THB, and undersea sea walking is about 1,500 THB. Agree the price and time limit before you start, and check if your tour already includes any of them.
What are Coral Island timings and the best time to visit?
The island is open all day with no closing time. Boats from Bali Hai Pier run from roughly 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, and the last boat back leaves in the early evening, so confirm your return time at the pier. The best months are November to March for calm, clear seas. Arrive on a morning boat to beat the tour crowds.
How far is Koh Larn from Pattaya and how do I get there?
Koh Larn, the real name for Coral Island, sits about 7 km off the Pattaya coast. Every boat leaves from Bali Hai Pier at the south end of Walking Street. Take the 30 THB public ferry (about 45 minutes) or a speedboat (15 to 20 minutes). A taxi or songthaew to the pier from central Pattaya is quick and cheap.
Is the Coral Island tour worth it and what is included?
For most first-time and family visitors, yes. A full-day tour bundles the speedboat, hotel pickup, a buffet lunch (often a dedicated Indian menu) and one or two water sports into a single per-person price, which usually works out cheaper than paying for each part on the day. Independent travellers who want a slow, budget day are better on the public ferry.
Is the Coral Island entry fee different for Indians and foreigners?
No. There is no entry fee for anyone, Indian or foreign. Unlike some Thai national parks that charge foreigners more, Koh Larn is a free public island. The only costs, the boat, water sports and food, are the same price whatever your nationality, though tour operators may quote packages in different currencies.
Is Coral Island good for a family day trip with kids?
Yes. The crossing is short by speedboat, the main beaches have shallow, calm water, and banana boat rides and sea walking are safe for non-swimmers and children with a life jacket and an instructor. Head to Samae or Tien Beach for calmer water, carry reef-safe sunscreen and cash, and catch a morning boat so you are back before the afternoon swell.
