Monkey Beach on Koh Larn, Thailand, is a secluded sandy cove primarily known for its resident macaques, offering a more rustic escape compared to the island's busier shores. Accessible mainly by longtail boat or speedboat from Pattaya or other points on Koh Larn, visitors can opt for a solo exploration by hiring a private boat or join an organized island-hopping tour, making it suitable for both independent travelers and those preferring guidance; however, it's not highly accessible for wheelchairs due to boat transfers and sandy terrain. The beach is generally open year-round, though the dry season (November to February) offers the best weather for boat travel and beach activities, avoiding potential monsoon disruptions. A visit typically costs around 500-1500 THB per person for a tour from Pattaya (including boat transfer and island stops) or 300-1000 THB for a private longtail from Koh Larn's main pier, with a typical duration of 1-2 hours for enjoying the scenery and observing the monkeys from a safe distance. Visitors should exercise caution around the wild monkeys, avoid feeding them, and bring essentials like water and sunscreen, as facilities are limited.
