Travel Phetchaburi: Phetchaburi Coastal Road
Phetchaburi Coastal Road http://www.hotsia.com > Travel Phetchaburi > Phetchaburi Coastal Road Other trips of mine in Phetchaburi include Spicy Stir-fried Sea Catfish at Puangphet Restaurant, Morning Market and Luang Phetchaburi Temple, Beef Offal Soup at the Night Market, Coastal Road along Ban Laem, Thai Song Dam Village in Khao Yoi, Market in front of Yang Khao Yoi Temple, Breakfast Restaurants in Kaeng Krachan, Khun Usa Homestay in Kaeng Krachan, Tonson Kitchen Kaeng Krachan, Wiman Nam Kaeng Krachan. I have traveled many places, many provinces, and many years.

I just discovered a beautiful coastal road that is perfect for a scenic drive. This route runs from Puek Tian Beach towards Ban Laem District, Pak Bia Cape, Laem Luea, Khlong Klon, Bang Tabun, Bang Yi San, and Khlong Khon. This is a very interesting travel route. If you have never been, you should find an opportunity to visit, especially Khlong Khon which is now a homestay tourism spot where you can catch blood cockles and sleep on the sea in what is called 'Kateng'. I started driving from Phetchaburi and stopped to visit the salt fields to chat with locals.
Then I passed Laem Khon to see the swiftlet condo at Bang Yi San. Initially, I planned to stay at a homestay with Kateng, but when I asked, they only accommodate tourists in houses that can hold about ten people. Since I was alone, I couldn’t stay there and had to drive to stay in Amphawa instead. The charm of this route is the beautiful road, scenic views along the way, and few cars. If you visit in the hot season, you will see salt fields with salt piles everywhere. In other seasons, you will still see salt fields but without salt, stretching endlessly with salt storage piles from the salt farmers.
Stopping to explore and gain life experiences there is very rewarding. Few people know about this coastal road, and it also serves as a shortcut from Bangkok via Rama 2 Road to visit Phetchaburi and Cha-Am.
