Chao Lao and Leam Sadet are clearly the longest and nicest beaches in the province, together stretching over 8 kilometers, below is a small map of Chao Lao and Laem Sadet. The beach slopes very gently and is therefore ideal for children, the water is clean and clear during the season (Nov. - Mar.). Khung Wiman is about 11 Kilometers to the west of Chao Lao and the smallest beach out of the three and, unfortunately, the only one with some tricky underwater currents. But Khung Wiman is also far more peaceful then Laem Sing and Chao Lao, ideal for people who want to relax. The exception, on all three beaches, are the weekends, when Thai's from the region, Bangkok and the north come to Chanthaburi for their weekend holidays at the beaches here.
