Ennkai Resort Koh Larn, Amazing Tong Lang Beach

Ennkai on Tong Lang Beach of Koh Larn, just a few steps from the inviting waters so clear. The resort was less than 2 months old when we stayed here in January. Most visitors to this island just opposite of Pattaya will not be aware of this stretch of beachfront because, they did all be on the popular Tawaen where all the bustle is. Ennkai is one of only two resorts on Tong Lang. During the day, there were more people who were day visitors to the beach and probably the spillover from next door Tawaen. Nevertheless, it was still very serene as the crystal-clear water was not filled with roaring speedboats and zig zagging jet skis attempting to decapitate tourist in the water. The resort has 9 rooms which means as more and more people discover the pristine allure of this location, reservations on weekends may become a challenge. The staffs here were all very friendly, and even the owner came to chat with us. The day food vendors lined along the beach they closed at 5, so meals in the evening we had in the hotel. It was delicious, has standard, they have a good chef. For some of the guest, they rode to Tawaen for dinner. Mopeds were provided by the hotel for free. Guest can use them anytime to go anywhere. As for breakfast, it was a choice from the menu of sets. Transportation to the resort is usually a motorbike ride from Na Baan Pier. And that said, this is the only part which needed to be improved. Some guest like me and my wife do not have “know-how-to-motorbike” in our DNA sequence. A family of 3 with a young child, there was some ordeal on arrival which they eventually resolved by getting us a pickup truck. But that was after more than an hour of problem-solving. That aside, everything was pretty cool about Ennkai. The room we had was on the 2nd floor and had awesome view of the sea. It resembles a trendy studio apartment with a small balcony. Interior was new, gleaming and white. There is enough space for an extra bunkbed. Water flowed hot and well in the cubical bath. Gadget wise, impressed with very big flat screen TV and the wireless phone charger provided. Love the close access to the sea just opposite. The beach was very well maintained and clean. This is the closest crystal-clear water patch of beachfront we can find from Bangkok and we love the seclusion that Ennkai offers. A new hidden gem in the vicinity of Pattaya, not many knows (well, now you do).
