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.

Visit Koh Samet

Koh Samet Island, Rayong - beautiful beaches

Ko Samet is a favourite get-away island for Bangkokians, and offers extensive beaches which are pristine with clean white sand and strangely shaped rocks. It is a haven for relaxation. This T-shaped island is a perfect retreat for those looking for sun, sand and sea.

One of the most beautiful and popular beaches on Koh Samet is Hat Sai Kaew which is 1 kilometer long and 25 – 30 meters wide.

The name speaks for itself, Hat Sai Kaew, which literally means Crystal Sand Beach, is a nice beach filled with activities.

From dusk to dawn, visitors can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, jet skiing, windsurfing, riding on a banana boat or partying at night.

The climate here is always pleasantly cool with an abundance of rain in August and windy monsoons in May.

There is a wide range of accommodation on the island with prices at the low-end starting from 200 baht for a bungalow with basic amenities, while bungalows with furniture and air-conditioning can start at 600 baht.

Mid-range hotels and resorts are mostly located around the Hat Sai Kaew area and are available. Reservations for accommodation should be made in advance as the place gets crowded especially during the festive season.

Try Diving

Diving in Thailand, Thai water sport

Scuba diving is Thailand’s most popular water sport and the country boosts some of the most beautiful dive sites in the world – the water is clear, sea life plentiful, transport and accommodation readily available and instruction to a very high standard, diving in Thailand is comparatively cheap.

Diving is available at all times of the year, the best time to dive is from October to April, and in the Gulf of Thailand from May to September.

At recommended dive sites in Thailand the water is so clear that the under-water world is visible from the surface: whale sharks, manta rays, marlin, flying fish, dolphins and coral reefs.

All reputable dive shops are affiliated with PADI or other international dive bodies, and most hold courses in multiple languages. All over Thailand, you can expect modern amenities, international standard boats and professional facilities.

For group or family travelers, all good live aboard operations will take non-divers along at a substantially reduced fee.

Friends and family can relax, swim, sunbathe, snorkel and still enjoy the food, trip, scenery and experience of sailing in some of the world’s most beautiful waters.

Visit nearby Pattaya

Thailand holidays in Pattaya beach, Chonburi

For centuries, Pattaya was a small fishing village almost cut off from the outside world. But a big change occurred on 29 April 1961 when the first group of about 100 American servicemen who would join the Vietnam War arrived in Pattaya for relaxation.

Soon, sleepy Pattaya became Thailand's premier and most successful beach resort, which annually attracts hundreds of thousands of pleasure-seeking visitors.

Pattaya currently integrates the delights of a 1st class beach resort, city-like dining, shopping and night entertainment facilities with more than 300 assorted hotels, thousands of shops, restaurants and bars.

In addition, there are an array of sports and recreational activities including beaches, golf courses, tennis courts, go-kart, gyms for working out, weight lifting and Thai-boxing gear.

Pattaya offers a broad range of things to do. During the day, one may enjoy riding elephants or driving humble automatic mini-bikes, monstrous motorcycles, or even monster multicolored convertible Jeeps.

Others go for shooting firearms, scuba diving and surfing, deep-sea fishing, speed boats, scooters, water-skiing, parasailing, or aerial sports such as gliding ultra-lights and flying motor-propelled gliders.

On the other hand, at night, there are restaurants, bars, theaters, cabaret shows, night clubs, bowling halls, billiard & snooker clubs, discos, sauna & massage parlors, not to cite its absolutely incredible shopping which is available non-stop both day-and-night.
