The ferry cuts through emerald-green waters as it approaches Koh Larn, Pattaya's beloved island escape. Tourists gather at the railing, cameras ready, anticipating the white-sand beaches that lie beyond the tree-covered hills.
A weathered wooden pier stretches toward the horizon, connecting the mainland world to this tropical paradise. The island's lush mountains rise dramatically from the sea, their slopes dense with native vegetation and punctuated by the occasional communications tower.
