What has changed
The walkway linking Ta Waen and Sangwan beaches on Koh Larn is approximately 40% complete by construction value, according to an update given to Pattaya City Council. The contractor has provided a temporary wooden bridge while work continues.
The progress report came at the council's 5 November meeting and was published by The Pattaya News late on 6 November. It provides an update for visitors planning to move between the two neighbouring beaches on the island off Pattaya.
Work remains in progress
The 40% figure refers to the value of construction completed. It should not be read as a measurement of the length of path available to visitors.
The report says the contractor is being urged to finish on schedule, but does not give a public opening date for the finished walkway. Travellers should therefore confirm the current route locally rather than assume the permanent beach-to-beach link is complete.
Check the crossing before planning a walk
Sangwan is reached from the Ta Waen side by a coastal walking route, with rocks and vegetation alongside the shore. Anyone planning a visit that depends on using the link should ask accommodation staff or local operators about access on the day.
Follow signs and staff instructions around the works, use the designated crossing and allow flexibility if access changes. Visitors with mobility needs should check the actual walking surface and any steps before committing to the route.
