Time beside the sea
A broad sandy coast lined with palms
Walk along Klong Prao’s broad, palm-lined sand with your partner or family, then continue to a nearby restaurant for a meal. Some accommodation is set back from the main road, so you may need to continue after your drop-off. With luggage, ask the hotel how far a vehicle can enter and how to cover the remaining route.
Do not swim at Laem Chai Chet’s rocky cape
Laem Chai Chet at the northern end is a rocky cape unsuitable for swimming. Do not swim there. On Klong Prao’s sandy shore too, pay attention to water depth and follow the day’s flags and local instructions.
Swimming, waves and local conditions
Do not swim at the rocky cape of Laem Chai Chet to the north. On the sandy beach, watch the depth and follow the day’s flags and local swimming instructions.
Do not swim while red flags are flying. Read the marine forecast before leaving and follow local swimming instructions after arrival. Waves and weather may delay or cancel boat trips, so ask about bad-weather conditions when booking.
Frequently asked questions
Can I swim at Laem Chai Chet?
The northern rocky cape of Laem Chai Chet is unsuitable for swimming. Do not swim there. Even on Klong Prao’s sandy shore, follow the day’s flags and local instructions.
Am I at the beach as soon as I leave the road?
You may need to continue, depending on your accommodation and shore access route. Some hotels are set back from the road. With luggage, ask whether your vehicle reaches the hotel; if it stops at the main road, ask the hotel about the remaining route.
