Local islands

[simplelife 57]

Are any of the local islands of the type where you can trek around in tall fauna and lie in the shade without hearing other people?

 

I feel like chartering a speedboat and making babies with a TG on a little island all to ourselves (or close to it) for a day.

 

Would probably get boring so hopefully AIS still covers it too.

From what I've seen of 'em in over 30 years they're no different to any Thai beaches anywhere. You get plagued by vendors from the minute you disembark until you head back to the mainland. The ones near Pattaya are the worse.

So in thirty years you've never found a beach in Thailand that isn't plagued with vendors?

Yes I have done that near Pattaya, but I would say it was 35 years ago!

Nearby Islands, koh Larn unlikely, further out Koh Phai, similarly. There is another just past there I can't speak for called Koh Luam.

The group of Islands to the south off Sattahip are Navy controlled.

"So"

 

So I've never been that concerned about finding one.

 

Finding such a beach on a local island in such a commercially developed part of Asia where this forum is based has never been on my list of priorities and if it was in this day and age it would probably prove to be a wild goose chase.

 

Visit Koh Larn, Jomtien and Pattaya Beaches and you'll see what I mean. They won't even let you sit on the beach and will even try to force you to rent a deck chair. Then the trinket sellers and food vendors will be queuing up to drive you nuts.

 

If you're so clued up you tell him where to go. Good luck with that.

If you have the time and inclination I would suggest going to Koh Chang and then hiring a speedboat to one of the small islands off its coast. There are deserted beaches on Koh Chang itself on week days if you hire a motorbike and cruise around the island.

But it's a several day trip away, not a one day trip.

You're probably right although if I was going to look for one it wouldn't be on Koh Lan which is the most commercialised island near Pattaya. My previous post was in response to this comment:

I appreciate the OP asked about local islands but I made my comment because I thought you were referring to beaches anywhere in Thailand. Now that I've reread the OP I'm even more confused because it says:

Maybe the OP would like to clarify because I don't think he's looking for a beach, he's looking for an island with "tall fauna" which surely must mean "tall flora" otherwise he's looking for an island with tall animals?

Basically I'm looking for an island where I can make my girl strip naked, chase her around and catch her. Without disturbances from anyone else.

 

Other activities could include lying around in the shade and just exploring the island on foot.

 

I have read that there are some deserted islands accessible only by speedboat but info on them is scarce.

 

Something within a few hours of Pattaya would be ideal. But is not absolutely required.
