Chonburi boasts some of Thailand's most accessible shores. Bang Saen offers family-friendly sands and calm waters, while Pattaya Beach is lively with activities. Head to Jomtien for a quieter stretch ideal for sunset views.

How to Get There

Chonburi is easily reachable by bus or train from Bangkok, but ferries are a scenic highlight for island hops. Book your ferry tickets easily at ThailandBoatTickets.com.
