How to visit the islands on your own?
Hello!
I'm getting ready to visit Thailand again. Can you please tell me how to visit the nearest islands from Pattaya on your own? Just swim and lie on the sand. I know that travel agencies provide this tour, but they are expensive and even for 2 days.

Getting to Koh Lan is no problem at all. From the pier (if you have been to Pattaya, you know that it is located next to Walking street) ferries depart every 15-30 minutes to different beaches of Koh Lana (it takes 40 minutes to get to the island). Plus a bunch of little boats. The ferry is quieter, but the boats are faster. Koh Samet is already far away: 2-2.5 hours by bus and another 30 minutes by boat. I haven't been to the other islands - I don't know

It was 30 baht, the schedule there on the pier is the last ferry at ~ 18 hours. From Botani, you can also rent a speedboat, it’s more convenient to get it in time. Recruit a team and negotiate with jet ski rentals.

Thank you. And about the beaches themselves. Are they all at hotels or can you just swim? Are sun loungers and umbrellas a paid service?

from 30 to 150 baht depending on the size and speed of the boat. I have tourists traveled for 150 baht round trip.
P.S.
All beaches in Tai are municipal, that is, public. You cannot be banned from swimming on the beach of a particular hotel. The only thing they can do is refuse the hotel service: towels, sunbeds, bars, etc. But I am not aware of such cases.

There are several beaches on Koh Lan, you can stay on the one to which the ferry lands (it is the most dense and expensive), or you can go by tuk-tuk for 10-40 baht to any beach you choose, I recommend not to rush to the first sunbeds, but a little pass, we always took sunbeds for 20 baht. I repeat that the cost of the ferry is 30 baht, the journey time is about half an hour.

a slow and large boat leaves for Tavan Beach at 8, 9, 11 and 13 hours. Back at 14, 15, 16 and 17 hours. The cost is 30 baht one way. The rest of the time (and even at the same time) the same boat goes to a common pier, from where you need to go to the beach by tuk-tuk. In order not to be mistaken, see the name on the Tawan boat or call us (free of charge).
The boat leaves for the common marina every half hour.
There is a similar slow boat to the distant beaches of Tien and Samae. Departs every hour. Cost 150 baht both ways. But he does not approach the beach, but stops nearby. Then a boat sails up and transports people to the beach. Stremnovato for not very active. Back, too, first on the boat, be prepared to go into the water waist-deep. And do not lose your return tickets, otherwise you will have to pay again.
There is an option to go on a fast speedboat. This is a small boat for 12 people, fast. Dispatched as soon as a group of 12 people is recruited. Cost 300 baht
You can go to other islands by first booking a hotel using this link
