Hello everyone, I'm starting my first review with a trip to Bangsaen. What's confusing? What's confusing is that it's a 2-night, 3-day trip to Marina Sea View Bangsaen.

This trip was a real vacation. I changed my sleeping place and played Pubg.

This trip, we will be traveling with Sriracha Tour on a mini-bus. If you prefer a van, you can choose that option as well. We will board the bus at the New Mo Chit Station (Chatuchak). The ticket price is 88 baht per person. The route is Mo Chit - Nong Mon.

Our journey arrived at 11:30 AM sharp. We traveled from Mo Chit to Nong Mon. Upon reaching Nong Mon, if anyone is too lazy to cross the bridge to the opposite side where the cars are parked, you can hop on a songthaew on the side where the cars are parked. However, the car will make a slightly longer U-turn. Since we were a bit disoriented, we saw Burapha University students getting on a songthaew, so we ran after them and realized, "Oh, it's making a U-turn!"

Take a songthaew to Bangsaen roundabout. Get off there and enjoy the Bangsaen beach for a while. Then, take a motorbike taxi to Marina Sea View Bangsaen at Wonnapha Beach. The motorbike taxi fare is 30 baht. You should arrive around 1:40 PM.

Ocean View (Japanese Style)

The first night we stayed in a SEA VIEW (JAPANESE STYLE) room. We got a room on the 4th floor (room 401). The room was very minimalist and cute. There wasn't a lot of decoration, so it was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and very nice. We loved it!

Upon arriving at the room, we took photos and had fun playing around. Sitting by the window and enjoying the view of the Bangsaen sea was a delightful experience.

The day we went to Bangsaen, the sea water was not clear. The beach was full of garbage. The water smelled bad. The vendors told us that the cause was plankton. I must say that I did not expect much from the sea at Bangsaen on this trip. I came here to relax and specifically for the accommodation here.

As the evening approached, I found myself unsure of what to eat. I decided to take a walk along the beach and enjoy the view of the sea. The weather was perfect, not too hot. Along the way, I stopped to buy some grilled squid eggs from a street vendor. Then, I came across a restaurant that had been highly recommended in a review. The photos on the page looked amazing, so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant was called Triple Grill. It was an all-you-can-eat buffet for 299 baht per person, including drinks. However, soft drinks had to be ordered separately. The menu was not very extensive, and I wouldn't recommend it personally.


The breakfast menu offers two options: pork congee and American breakfast. The portions are small, so you might not feel full. I recommend the American breakfast, especially the salad. The pork congee is bland and lacks flavor. The breakfast bar includes toast, jam, butter, fresh milk, orange juice, milk, cereal, tea, and coffee. The pastries vary daily. On the first day, there were palm cakes, deep-fried dough sticks, and cookies (not sure if they were cookies). On the second day, there were cookies, peanut cookies, and bananas. Breakfast is served from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM.

For lunch, we planned to eat at Auntie Lek's restaurant, which we walked to. The weather was great (I think).

Upon arrival, the sign read "Auntie sells at four o'clock, kid." Cut to me! Why didn't you check the time, huh?! Google Maps even said 4:00 PM! I was screaming so loud! The man next to me was shaking his head in disbelief.

Okay, no problem. We'll try again. On our way to Aunt Lek's shop, we passed by a faraway shop. We didn't hesitate and walked back from Aunt Lek's shop with our heads down to the faraway shop. The taste was spicy and delicious. The price was not expensive. The man next to me liked it. We were relieved...

After finishing a satisfying lunch, we decided to indulge in a slice of cake. We ventured to a nearby bakery, ร้านมีนาค้าข้าว, located next to our hotel. While the bakery offered a variety of goods, we opted solely for a slice of cake. However, we were left disappointed, as the cake did not meet our expectations.

Let's go for dinner, I'm hungry again! Let's go, P'Ta!!!

After visiting several restaurants, we ended up at Won House, which serves both food and desserts. We didn't take any more pictures. The dishes we ordered included:

  • Fried chicken with fish sauce: The chicken was crispy, but the sauce was a bit too sweet.
  • Pork with soy sauce over rice: This was ordered by my companion, and I personally didn't find it very good.
  • Fried chicken with shrimp roe sauce: The chicken was good, but the sauce was too rich.
  • Spicy Thai chicken steak: The chicken was unfortunately undercooked.
  • Seafood dipping sauce: This was the highlight of the meal.

The drinks we ordered were:

  • Lime tea: This was not good.
  • Green soda: My companion ordered this, but it was made like an Italian soda, which was a bit confusing in terms of taste.

The total bill came to over 300 baht. The restaurant itself was comfortable and had a nice atmosphere.

Leaving Won House, I still felt hungry. I walked past a restaurant called "Moo Pla Ra Pub Bangsaen" and decided to try their fermented fish dish. I ordered four skewers of pork, one grilled sausage, and one sticky rice, which came to a total of 149 baht. As usual, I forgot to take any pictures. You can find more details on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%...

The fish was pleasantly fermented, with a mild flavor and not overly pungent. The herbs weren't particularly fragrant. The pork was tender and flavorful, and the grilled intestines were surprisingly delicious, lacking any unpleasant odor. A variety of vegetables were available, and best of all, they were free and self-service. The queue system is digital, which can be a bit slow at times.

Note: The original text mentions a "SUITE SEA VIEW," but this information is not relevant to the translation of the food review.

On the second night, we stayed at the same hotel but changed rooms. The only room available on July 27, 2018, was a SUITE SEA VIEW on the 6th floor. I must say, climbing the stairs was exhausting. The room was dusty, and I was not happy with it at all. I looked at the man next to me and said, "Honey, I'm not okay. I want to change rooms." The air conditioner was dripping water. Since it was on the roof, the sound of the water pump was constant because the water tank was on this floor. There was a bar in the bedroom, which I found very inconvenient. It made the usable space feel cramped. There was a kitchen area, but the equipment was not complete. Oh, and it was in a different building from the first room we stayed in. Let's take a look at the pictures first.

The SEA VIEW SUITE room is suitable for those who want to cook their own meals and not go out, as walking up and down 6 floors can be tiring. However, the dust is really bad. Looking out from the balcony, the air compressor units lined up with the roof awning are an eyesore. But it's okay, at least we were impressed with the SEA VIEW (JAPANESE STYLE) room. This room has its own Wi-Fi router. If the code on the key card is incomplete and you cannot access the internet, you can inform the staff. The good thing is that the staff responds to LINE messages quite quickly.

Let's take a walk to Wonnopha Beach Park to relax. It's right next to the hotel, about 200 meters away.

Let's get ready to go back. Please bring your belongings downstairs and have breakfast at the hotel. We will take a songthaew to Bang Saen Beach. It is recommended to ask the hotel staff to call a motorbike taxi. The fare is 25 baht... Hellooooo, why is it 30 baht when I came here!!!! I'm so angry!!!!

The two-row car then stopped at the Sriracha Tour office near Nong Mon Market. The driver told us to get off behind the building, but we didn't tell him. The uncle said that if we wanted to get off there next time, we should tell him and he would stop behind the building. So he drove us to the front of the Sriracha Tour building. Actually, the fare was 10 baht, but he charged us an extra 5 baht. Oh well, it's okay. When we arrived, we bought tickets and waited. We got off at Mo Chit New (Chatuchak) for 88 baht. We were in time for the 11:20 am round. There were rates. We got on the bus around 11:40 am. The last bus is at 8:00 pm. If you call, the staff's voice may not be smooth, so just skip it. ^_^'

This trip was easily accessible by public transportation or private car, being located near Bangkok. This review may not be very detailed, as mentioned earlier, as the main purpose was relaxation. My food choices did not focus on seafood.

Whether it's Bang Saen Beach or Wonnapha Beach, they both have their own charm. Sitting and watching the waves, even if they're not clear, is fine. Seeing the fishing boats swaying, the waves crashing on the shore, people spreading out mats and forming circles, picking at papaya salad, having fun together. It becomes a relaxing day without having to rush anything. For us, Bang Saen is Bang Saen. It has its own charm.
