Ko Klet Kaeo

Ko Klet Kaeo is a small island located off the coast of Pattaya. Visitors typically go there to observe and feed the local monkey population or to snorkel in the surrounding waters.

Getting There

The island is accessed via a short boat ride from the Pattaya coastline. Depending on the departure point and boat speed, the transit takes a few minutes.

Duration of Visit

Most visitors spend between two to four hours on the island, providing enough time for wildlife observation and swimming.

When to Visit

To avoid the largest crowds, it is advisable to arrive early in the morning. Like many coastal attractions in Thailand, the experience is most consistent during the dry season. Be aware that the monkeys are active throughout the day and can be assertive when food is present.

Combining with Other Attractions

Because the island is located on the coast, you can combine this trip with other sites in the Pattaya area. Depending on your transport, consider visiting these nearby locations:

  • Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden (9.7km)
  • Viharn Sien (12.4km)
  • Ramayana Water Park (12.9km)
  • Pattaya Floating Market (13.6km)
