universe2000 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I would like to know where some nice beaches are in the Chonburi and Rayong Province. I have visited the main beaches in the area. Pattaya Beach People: very crowded Food: since it is right across the bars, hotels and the Central shopping center, food is in abundance. Chairs/Umbrellas: abundance Activities: pretty much all the water sports Notes: good place for first-time tourists to visit Jomtien Beach People: crowded Food: Since it is right across some hotels and restaurants, food is in abundance. Chairs/Umbrellas: abundance Activities: pretty much all the water sports Notes: the north end seems more crowded than the south end. Quieter than Pattaya beach. Ko Lan Island People: very few to very crowded depending on which beach Food: Some restaurants and people walking around with food for sale Chairs/Umbrellas: abundance Activities: pretty much all the water sports Notes: the water is much cleaner than Pattaya or Jomtien. A 20 baht, one hour boat ride from Pattaya. Naklua Beach I looked for this beach but couldn't find it. Someone mentioned there were umbrellas that could be rented. If anyone has directions to the beach, please include. I did find the Naklua Market but they were doing construction on the coast (maybe that was the beach?)

AceCafe Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Nice beaches down Ban Saray and Ban Amphur. Or go down Port Sattahip way, past U-Tapao airport, continue till you hit the military checkpoint, turn left and voila! Or go through Rayong and then at the first (?) lights turn right down to Hat Mae Ramphung...... Or go through Ban Phe a few klicks to Hat Suan Son...... Or go past Hat Suan Son to Laem Mae Phim.

TheUsernameIsAlreadyTaken Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 About Naklua Beach. I think its "Wong Amat", ask for this. Looks like this, a part of Wong Amat: Not great, not bad, good for a swim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a parking area for the beach or is it safe just to park on the soi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this, a part of Wong Amat: Not great, not bad, good for a swim. when I had my weekend house there 2-3 years ago, frequently the beach was FULL of dead fishes so I wouldn't swim there. I don't know if it might improved?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About parking, as far as I know, you cannot park close to the beach with a car, always walk a bit if you have no motorbike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
