Bangsaen Beach is something more than the usual place in the sun; on the discovery trail along the strand promenade you are greeted with a smile.
Mass tourism has passed by Bangsaen Beach and has been able to retain its genuine Thai environment. The temples, the fishing village and the well known monkey mountain - Khao Samuk.

Nightlife in Bangsaen is relaxed and calm. You can walk wherever you want and find your own special places. The evening can begin in one of the many seafood restaurants before ending up at one of the lively music cafes.

The town of Sri Racha is famous for its spicy chili dip and open air seafront seafood restaurants. Situated on a little rocky islet a few kilometers from the mainland is Koh Loy (Floating Island), a Thai-Chinese Buddhist temple that was originally accessible only at low tide. Nowadays, a concrete paved bridge connects Koh Loy with the mainland and serves as a ferry pier.

Off the coast of Sri Racha is the small island of Koh Sichang that formerly contained King Rama V’s favorite summer palace and used to be a customs checkpoint. Now it is a relatively quiet place with some architectural ruins and guesthouses.
