Beaches in Chanthaburi Thailand
Chanthaburi in Eastern Thailand has some quiet, secluded and beautiful beaches - not normally hunted out. We do the finding for you with details.
Chanthaburi is well known for its fruit and locally mined emerald and ruby gems. The beaches in Chanthaburi are also gems.
Chanthaburi is not mainstream tourist country, and the beaches along its short coast reflect this.
They are universally for the local people and those who visit the area on business - fruit and gems being two of the main ones. Rubber plantations also abound.
The beaches in Chanthaburi are normally quiet, secluded and peaceful - though there are the varied water sports on some. As with the whole province, the beaches are well worth a visit if you want some real Thai flavour - and food.
One of the main advantages of the Chanthaburi beaches, is that most of them are snuggled close to each other in a single area of the coastline - which in itself is home to same rather nice coral reefs.
Glass Bottom boats are the way to see these to effect - or there is snorkeling an diving. Both these water sports or pursuits are well catered for at the beaches, and also further inland in the city, by way of all-in tours.
Enough accommodation exists in the area to cater for the relative small number of visitors to the province's beaches.
This will either be hotel/guest houses or bungalows to rent for short periods if you feel like getting away from it all to peace and tranquility.
If staying at a beach, then there is plenty to do and see nearby.
