StrongView Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I found this picture of Bangsaen beach, and am unfamiliar with this area. Does anyone have an idea of where this section of boardwalk can be found? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrongView Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 Sorry, I should rephrase my question. I'm familiar with Bangsaen and have been there before, but I have not seen this section of boardwalk in my visits. It looks nice and I'm wondering if anyone knows where this section is located (as pictured). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgs2001uk Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I can only assume, turn left at the roundabout, if turning right its an all granite footpath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malct Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I walked from the roundabout turning left and i didn't see the boardwalk. I walked to the fishing boat area and the beach was nothing like the photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I walked from the roundabout turning left and i didn't see the boardwalk. I walked to the fishing boat area and the beach was nothing like the photo What I would do is walk out to Bangsean waterfront and try to find the building in the distance in the photograph with the angled rooftop. Once you have identified that building it should be easy to use that as a reference point to find your board walk? ...if you like walking that is (-: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 How would one get to Bangsaen from central Bangkok via public transportation aside from a taxi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAS21 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I just had a look at the blog where the photo came from... http://www.travlang.com/blog/ ...I must admit there must have been a huge change since we were last there or he is describing somewhere else!

Metapod Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 How would one get to Bangsaen from central Bangkok via public transportation aside from a taxi? Take a bus from Ekkamai bus station. Not sure if they have minivans from AnuSawalee but it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specially those lamps. What makes you think it really is a pic from Bang Saen? I would suspect that isn't even thailand, I have yet to see a lawn and boardwalk like that pic. I have also been to Ko Sichang, an island off the coast, I am not as familar with their beaches, it is remotely possible that pic was from there. But it doesn't look typical.

mallyrd Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Where did you find the picture and what makes you believe it is from somewhere in Bangsaen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluto_manibo Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 If you look in the background, you can clearly see the Sanctuary of Truth which is located in Naklua(just North of Pattaya). This boardwalk is part of a private Condo on the waterfront, right next to Mum aroy restaurant in Banglamung. It is not anywhere near Bangsaen.

Xonax Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Pictrure taken before the beach chair rentals was established. Today you are not able to see the beach for the thousands of beach chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoZth Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) I've lived in B/S for nearly two years, been all the way along the full length many times (not walking, on my motorcy of course!) but I've never seen the place on the photo,. Metapod, you can get to B/Saen by bus from Ekamai. Go inside, ignore the windows on your right, look straight in front of you and check the windows. You will see a board up on one of them, on it it says B/Saen AND Nong Mon. Ask for Nong Mon not B/Saen, 77bht.
