Bang Saen Beach

Bang Saen is a beach in the province of Chonburi. The small village is situated in south-east direction about half way between Bangkok and Pattaya on the gulf of Thailand. Bang Saen is especially popular amongst Thais from Bangkok and on weekends hundreds take out their cars, bikes or girlfriends and then occupy on of the thousands of beach chairs nestled along the 2.5km palm tree beach. Bang Saen is also famous for fresh seafood and you will find oysters, prawns and fresh fish on countless BBQ stalls along the beach road.

It's not much frequented by tourists, the only 'farangs' you will find here are expats from Bangkok. It's definitely a nice place to hang out for a few days and indulge in some delicious sea food. However the down side is that the beach and the surrounding waters are full of rubbish and no one seems to mind to swim or sit on a beautiful beach covered with plastic trash.
