Laem Mae Nok Kaeo

Few shops on site — bring your own water and snacks.

Noen Nang Phaya Viewpoint
32 km · 40 min
A clifftop viewpoint on the Chaloem Burapha Chonlathit coastal road — widely called one of Thailand’s most beautiful drives, with the road curving along the headland below.
Go early or late — there is no shade and the midday sun is brutal.
Khung Wiman Beach
35 km · 45 min
A long curving bay with fairly clear water, seafood restaurants along the sand and easy parking — at the end of the coastal road past Noen Nang Phaya.
Pair it with Noen Nang Phaya in one trip and stop for a seafood lunch.
Kung Krabaen Bay Royal Development Study Centre
34 km · 45 min
A royal development project with a near-kilometre boardwalk through mangrove forest, an aquarium and a turtle release point — a good half-day with children.
The boardwalk has little shade — bring a hat and water.
Chao Lao Beach
38 km · 50 min
Chanthaburi’s most popular beach — wide sand, gentle surf, restaurants, and water sports. The convenient option for families.
Crowded on long weekends — go in the morning.
Oasis Sea World
45 km · 60 min
A dolphin conservation and breeding centre in Laem Sing with shows and feeding sessions.
Check the show times before you go — there are only a few a day.
Phlio Waterfall
58 km · 70 min
The waterfall inside Namtok Phlio National Park — clear water year round, a large school of soro brook carp in the pool, and two royal monuments in the grounds.
Do not feed the fish. It is about a 500 m walk from the car park.
Chanthaboon Waterfront Community
48 km · 55 min
The old riverside quarter of Chanthaburi — century-old wooden shophouses, cafés, souvenir shops and the restored Baan Luang Rajamaitri.
Pair it with the cathedral just across the Niramon footbridge.
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
48 km · 55 min
Thailand’s largest Gothic-style church, over a century old, with stained glass and a Virgin Mary statue set with Chanthaburi gemstones.
Dress modestly and keep quiet during services.
Chanthaburi Gem Market
48 km · 55 min
An open-air gem trading market on Si Chan Road, busiest Friday to Sunday — real trading between dealers from around the world.
Busiest Friday and Saturday late morning; quiet on weekdays.
Wat Khao Ploi Waen
28 km · 35 min
A hilltop temple with an old chedi and a wide view over orchards and out to the sea — a local favourite for sunset.
You can drive to the top, but the lane is narrow — watch for oncoming cars.
Fruit Orchard Buffet
15 km · 25 min
Chanthaburi is the fruit capital of eastern Thailand. From roughly April to June, orchards around Na Yai Am and Tha Mai open for durian, mangosteen and rambutan buffets.
Season only — call ahead. Ask us which orchards are open during your stay.
