2016 - Bangsaen

Just about an hour’s drive from Bangkok, Bangsaen is one of the closest beach getaways for city dwellers. It may not be as flashy as Pattaya or as serene as Hua Hin, but Bangsaen has its own unique charm. It’s a true local favorite, where Thai families and students often spend their weekends enjoying fresh seafood, strolling along the promenade, or simply relaxing by the water.
