Pakarang Restaurant Bangsaen: Great seafood, beautiful views, affordable prices not to be missed on mr.hotsia
When it comes to seafood in Chonburi, everyone thinks of Bangsaen as an easy and convenient destination from Bangkok. My home in Bang Bo is not far from Chonburi, so Bangsaen has become a place that mr.hotsia often visits when craving fresh seafood and a relaxing seaside atmosphere.
This time I would like to share my experience atPakarang Restaurant BangsaenA seafood restaurant that, although large and upscale, has prices not much different from ordinary places because seafood here is sold by the kilogram. Most prices are in the same range, whether at fancy restaurants or cheap roadside stalls.
Prime Location, Beautiful View, Next to Bangsaen Beach
Pakarang is located right on Bangsaen Beach. This location is excellent for enjoying seafood while taking in the full sea view. mr.hotsia recommends going in the late afternoon, just before dusk, to experience two atmospheres at once: the bright blue sky before dark and then the evening sky with the warm lights of the restaurant.
Being right by the sea means a cool sea breeze, making it comfortable and not too hot even in the summer. This atmosphere is perfect for bringing elderly relatives or important guests. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
Recommended Dishes by mr.hotsia
My usual order is the “Sea Bass” which Pakarang prepares very well. The fish is fresh, tender, and juicy with a simple but satisfying home-style seasoning. Paired with the restaurant’s spicy seafood dipping sauce, it’s the best. There are also many other options including shrimp, shellfish, crab, and squid, all fresh and carefully prepared.
Seafood prices here are not as expensive as you might think. Compared to restaurants in Pattaya or some well-known seafood spots in Chonburi, Pakarang offers great value.
Travel and Additional Recommendations
Bangsaen is not far from Pattaya, which I have previously written about inTravel Chonburi Bangsaen PattayaTraveling from Bangkok is very convenient, taking less than 2 hours. If you like a seaside atmosphere combined with city convenience, Bangsaen is a very good choice.
If you are a foodie traveler who loves fresh seafood at friendly prices with a sea view without having to go far to an island, Pakarang Restaurant in Bangsaen is the answer. mr.hotsia can confidently say it’s “worth it.”
After enjoying a meal at Pakarang, I usually take a walk along Bangsaen Beach to enjoy the atmosphere and people. If you want to continue to Pattaya, it’s not far and you can stop by for wine and a seafood buffet at Siam Bayshore Hotel. Read the review atDelicious Breakfast in Pattaya at Siam Bayshorewhich is another destination I highly recommend without hesitation.
Summary of mr.hotsia’s Impressions
Pakarang Restaurant Bangsaen is a seafood restaurant I feel is suitable for all groups, whether families bringing elderly relatives or groups of friends wanting to chill by the sea. Fresh food, delicious flavors, reasonable prices, and most importantly, a beautiful beachfront sea view. The evening atmosphere changes with the sky’s light, making each meal a great memory on my Bangsaen trips.
If you haven’t tried it yet, I recommend planning a trip to eat at Pakarang Restaurant Bangsaen once. Then you will understand why mr.hotsia talks about this place often and wants everyone to experience it firsthand like I have.
