This beach is about 10km away from Tha Mai, we got there at about 3pm and there was one set of foot prints in the sand and absolutely nobody there

You have to park at the top of the mountain and then walk down to the bay, the walking down isn't so bad, but the coming back up made me realise I was getting old.

Some of the trees have signs on saying what type of tree they are so thats a good excuse to stop for a few seconds rest, also watch out for the wild monkeys.

At the top where you park is an office, I think this place might be part of a national park, there were no signs saying you had to pay, but there was a sign saying you was only allowed there between 6am to 6pm.

This was taken about a third of the way down the stairs.

The beach was absolutely fantastic, nice clean fine sand, nobody there at all to bother you, infact there was nobody there at all so you would need to bring your own beer and other important stuff that you need at the beach, halfway up the stairs is a toilet block so that's it, your all set up for a nice day at the beach.

That one looks nice. Where the hell is Chantaburi?

dirtydog · 06-07-2006, 11:30 PM

Chantaburi is 220kms from Bangkok heading South East, ie heading towards Trat.
