cyril sneer Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Looking for a last minute holiday near the beach for a few nights, and the Chonburi area is the closest to drive to She isn't an ex-bar girl so doesn't want to be around them constantly, so not sure about Pattaya She's suggested Bang Saen but from reading here it will just be full of drunk somchais. I've suggested Jomtien but not sure if it will be full of Russians. Are there any other options? we're currently thinking of spending 2 nights in each. We just want somewhere close to a beach (doesn't need to be nice) and with a holiday feel, but away from scumbags... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Good thing neither of you need a visa to go there or a health insurance for that matter, but remember to lodge you TM30 when you get back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyf Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 "She's suggested Bang Saen but from reading here it will just be full of drunk somchais." I don't know where you get that from. Place is normally very quiet apart from holiday weekends and events. I will be heading over there this evening for a quiet beer on the front. Bang Saen has a lot to offer with a wide range of accommodation and there is a baht bus service around the town making it easy to get about. I have lived here for over 10 years and have always liked the place. If you want something off the beaten track, get the ferry from Sri Ratcha over to Koh Si Chang.

DannyCarlton Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Bang Saen gets my vote. Popular with Thais. Take her to the Hell Garden. Very different and fun for Thais. Nice beach with lots of beach chairs and decent food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marin Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Samet would be the best. Its slightly overpriced but mid week should be fine. Rabbit Resort tends to cater to the gay crowd.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoBKK Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I have just been to Koh Sichai, 40min boat from Sriracha. Nice quite place for a couple and pretty much only Thai families at weekend. Alternatively Samet is romantic, cleaner and nicer. Bang Saen is ok, but beach/sea are as filthy as Pattaya or Jomtien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ej2562 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I have been to Bang Saen several times to celebrate with students during the graduation at Burapa University there. It is one of the oldest beaches in Thailand and is the place where Thai's went for weekend get aways. See, I remember the place from the sixties and as of 2018. At the graduation celebration, I had the most fun ever in Thailand. Let's not be so high and mighty.

Ej2562 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I have been to Rayong beaches, which are quiet, but transportation is not convenient.

rumak Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 oh the memories ! Phuket when it was pristine . Hua Hin when it was just a rock rising out of the sea. Pattaya ....... returning to the bars I can see the same beautiful ladies that I s encountered long ago . literally lol . (interesting to see how they look now, 25 years later ???? Koh Samet . Walking the island and eating on the almost deserted beach at night Chiangmai. A rose now wilting in the "haze" . Riding the real LOOP. Chiangmai to Pai to MaeHongson to Mae Sarieng (dirt road Pai to Maehongson memories i remember so well. just can't remember where I put my glasses .
