The Island of Koh Larn (also spelled "Lan") sits off the coast of Pattaya, making it easy to get to. The easiest and cheapest way is to go to the Pattaya Pier in Southern Pattaya and take a ferry over to the island. Being away from Pattaya it is a bit more low key but things are stepping up on the island of late. But the Island is still more low key than Pattaya so if you want to get away from the fray you can spend a day on the beaches of Koh Larn. There are monkeys in a lot of places in Thailand, usually running free but staying close to places people go to get a free ride as much as possible. Whenever i encounter them I like to spend the time to get some good photos. I think they can be very photogenic. Monkeys can also be fascinating to watch, sometimes immensely funny and a few can be scary. While I was taking these photos of a troop of Monkeys on the Island of Koh Larn, a monkey jumped on top my head and I had to show quite a bit of restraint to not reach up and throw him off. I was able to gently coaxed him down and then continued taking my photos.
