Yearning for Relaxation: A Weekend Getaway to Bangsaen

Longing for a seaside escape without venturing too far? Look no further than Bangsaen, a charming coastal town often overlooked as a beach destination. Despite its proximity, just an hour's drive away, Bangsaen has been dubbed a "forgotten city" when it comes to seaside getaways.

This article aims to rekindle memories of Bangsaen's allure while offering a relaxing weekend retreat. Our chosen accommodation, Bangsaen Heritage Hotel, boasts a prime beachfront location, delectable treats at their Cafe Coco, and convenient access to a nearby 7-Eleven.

Established over 30 years ago, the hotel has undergone numerous renovations, blending contemporary Thai and modern architectural styles. With 294 rooms across 10 distinct types, ranging from traditional Thai houses to modern villas, the hotel caters to diverse preferences.

Starting at 1800 baht per night, including a lavish breakfast buffet, the hotel offers exceptional value. The extensive breakfast spread is a testament to the hotel's commitment to exceeding expectations.

Bangsaen Heritage Hotel is an ideal choice for those seeking a relaxing escape near the sea. Join us as we delve into the details of this charming hotel and its surrounding attractions.

Let's take a closer look at the map to see how it only takes an hour to drive here.

We drove from Bang Na, following the Burapha Withi Expressway all the way.

We used Google Maps to locate the Heritage Bangsaen Hotel, and it was very easy to find.

We arrived at noon, but check-in wasn't available yet. No worries, let's grab something to eat first.

The hotel has a new, stylish cafe called Cafe Coco. Since we're here, let's give it a try.

Cafe Coco Bangsan: A Chic Cafe by the Beach

Cafe Coco Bangsan is a trendy cafe located by the Bangsaen beach, making it a must-visit spot for those seeking a stylish and relaxing experience.

Another stylish cafe with delicious menus, offering Thai food, fusion food, cakes, and various cute desserts.

Art Deco Cafe by the Sea

This charming cafe boasts a modern Art Deco design, offering a sleek and contemporary aesthetic while maintaining a sense of simplicity. Perfectly situated by the seaside, it provides a relaxing and inviting atmosphere for patrons to enjoy their coffee and snacks.

Located at the forefront of the Bangsaen Heritage Hotel, this cafe shares ownership with the renowned hotel, ensuring a high standard of quality and service.

This spot boasts a plethora of stylish photo ops, so get ready to capture some amazing memories!

The restaurant is open from 6 am to 5 pm. It's great that it's open until late, so people who like to hang out at the beach at night can come here and relax.

Let's take a look at the menu that we had the chance to try. What dishes did we like?

The Duo Burger is huge! We had to take a picture of it before posting it on Facebook.

We saw it with our own eyes, and it's really big compared to our faces.

And the menu that we liked the most is the spicy one, the Salmon Yum. It's our favorite. The lime is fresh, and the salmon is bite-sized.

If you come to this restaurant, order this menu. You won't be disappointed.

And other menus, there are both savory and sweet dishes. There is also tom yum flavored pizza. It's so delicious that you don't need to add any more seasoning.

Of course, we have to order iced milk tea because we like it. 555

The recommended delicious dessert is banana waffle. It's delicious with lots of honey. I love it.

And the highlight of the cafe is Coco Pie. 1 box has 6 pieces with 6 fillings: young coconut, corn, chicken curry, shredded chicken, and red pork. The price is 15-20 baht per piece. I recommend buying it as a souvenir.

One box is definitely not enough. Hehe.

After a satisfying meal, it's time to check in. The Bangsaen Heritage Hotel is located directly opposite Bangsaen Beach. The sign is clearly visible, with the H logo. The green space inside awaits.

Upon seeing the vibrant green backdrop, we couldn't resist capturing some memorable photos.

The hotel boasts a plethora of stylish photogenic corners. Don't forget to bring your camera!

Even a smartphone will suffice, as there are numerous photo-enhancing apps available. 555

Superior Room

This is our room. When I opened the door and saw the bed, I was like, "Wow, I'm sleeping alone." The bed next to me is still empty. 555

The room is quite spacious. Most importantly, I want to say that the WiFi here is very fast and strong. I brought my computer to work.

I love it the most.

Free drinks are available in the room. The minibar has soft drinks that are also free for guests.

I had the opportunity to visit other room types at Bangsaen Heritage Hotel. I took some pictures to share with you.

There are more than 10 room types, which is a lot.

As for the hotel area, I heard that it is 90 rai wide. Wow, it's really big.

Junior Suite

This spacious room features a living area.

Conveniently located near the lobby, cafe, and beach.

The hotel room is designed to comfortably accommodate an extra bed. This is a good option for those who need the extra space.

The built-in furniture is a unique feature of the room.

There is another type of room that we recommend. This room is located a bit further away from the main building, so you will need to take a golf cart to get there.

But we have to say, we love this type of room!

Villa B / Villa F

Villa B / Villa F

We have combined the images because the difference is that Villa B can accommodate two people, while Villa F can accommodate four people (2 bedrooms) and has a private pool.

Including single and double bedroom options.

From what we can see, it is a prefabricated house built in separate buildings with a considerable amount of space around the house.

Of course, if you come with a large group, you can have fun with a barbecue.

The interior of the house features a raised bedroom, a small kitchen, a balcony, a bathroom, and all the amenities you would expect from other types of accommodations. The rooms are clean and, most importantly, the house is very quiet, making it ideal for a relaxing family vacation.

The private pool within the villa is very private, with a high fence surrounding it.

There are also marble chairs provided.

I recommend barbecuing and playing in the water here, it's a lot of fun, I can tell you!

The balcony in front of the villa offers a view of the surrounding area and the distance between the villas.

The privacy is quite good, even though the villa is located far from the restaurant.

However, this is not a problem as you can call a golf cart to pick you up and take you to the restaurant.

Another room at the Bangsaen Heritage Hotel that we visited is the Heritage Suite.

Heritage Suite

This room appears to be the highest room type offered by the hotel, judging by its design.

The location and balcony offer stunning views, and the suite boasts a spacious living area and two equally spacious bedrooms.

The interior is primarily decorated with wooden furniture, featuring warm tones of brown, orange, yellow, and white, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere.

This room type features a bathtub, making it ideal for executives seeking relaxation. The hotel boasts a conference room capable of accommodating hundreds of guests. The balcony offers stunning views of the lush greenery and the communal swimming pool.

The Bangsaen Heritage Hotel's communal swimming pool boasts a striking design featuring a white dolphin. This unique feature makes it an ideal spot for playful and creative photo opportunities.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the pool also offers a thrilling experience with its built-in slide. Children are sure to have a blast splashing and laughing as they zoom down the slide.

Near the swimming pool, there is another common area which is a fitness room with trainers ready to serve you.

For those who like to exercise regularly, this spot is sure to keep you entertained.

As for the evening light, there's nothing we're more interested in than seeing the beautiful light in front of us.

We're just sitting by the pool here.

The pool is empty now, it's just me and myself. No one is playing now because it's raining. 555

I'm sitting here, walking around, letting my mind wander with the setting sun.

And finally, the twilight changes color.

Upon reviewing the images on the SD card, it became evident that the majority of the captured photos were taken during the late afternoon hours at the swimming pool.

Before heading to the dining room, we will pass through the lobby area, giving us another glimpse of the stylish design of the Bangsaen Heritage Hotel.

I must say, this place is really beautiful.

The design and angles are truly beautiful. We had a great time taking pictures. Now, there's nothing better than finding dinner to eat. 555

We arrived at Sila Restaurant, which is the only restaurant in the hotel that serves both breakfast and dinner.

It is located near the main swimming pool.

The restaurant offers a spacious seating area, catering to both dinner and breakfast services. With a menu that caters to diverse preferences, it's definitely worth a try.

Spicy and satisfying squid salad, we have tried this menu from many places, it is also delicious.

Mostly, the food we see in hotels is mostly European, but here there is Thai food and seafood as well.

We like it the most.

The Scallop Stir-Fry: A Delightful Surprise

The scallop stir-fry was a delightful surprise, disappearing before the vegetables. It's a testament to the hotel's culinary prowess, offering a favorite dish without the need to venture out, especially during the rain. The convenience of dining within the hotel grounds is a welcome advantage.

A Breakfast Buffet to Remember

The breakfast buffet was equally impressive, boasting a wide selection, including the delectable green mussel omelet. We lingered until almost closing time, savoring the abundance. While photos were taken, they are not included here. The sheer variety of the buffet is a testament to the hotel's commitment to providing a diverse and satisfying dining experience.

A Return to the Beloved Beach

Before checking out of the Bangsaen Heritage Hotel, we couldn't resist the allure of the sea. A short walk across the street from the hotel brought us to the familiar shores of Bangsaen Beach. The waves whispered memories of past visits, making this return all the more special.
