Stay in the middle of Samaesan Sea: Swimming, Fishing, Crystal Clear Water

If anyone asks me, mr.hotsia, where to escape the city chaos for a weekend getaway, I recommend "Samaesan" in Chonburi Province. This place is like a small oasis by the sea not far from Bangkok, full of pristine nature, crystal-clear sea water, and fun activities to enjoy all day, especially swimming and relaxed fishing. I recently experienced it and want to share the details in true mr.hotsia style.

Getting to Samaesan

From Bangkok, I drove about 2 hours to Samaesan Village, Sattahip District, Chonburi Province. The trip is very convenient whether you drive yourself or take a van. But if you want to fully enjoy the sea atmosphere, I recommend coming in the morning when the sunlight is gentle, the sea water is clearest, and it’s not as crowded as Pattaya. This place still maintains peace and natural beauty well.

Atmosphere and Water Clarity

Samaesan has beaches with water so clear you can see the sandy bottom and schools of fish swimming clearly. I, mr.hotsia, felt extremely refreshed swimming here. The sea water is perfectly cool, not too salty like some places, and importantly, so clear that you hardly need snorkeling goggles to see the fish swimming around you. Swimming in such crystal-clear sea water in rural Chonburi is quite different from Pattaya.Travel in Chonburi: Bangsaen, PattayaI have been to those places, but the atmosphere in Samaesan is much quieter and more natural.

Relaxed Fishing by the Sea

For fishing lovers, Samaesan is a paradise. I, mr.hotsia, brought only light gear because here you can fish right from the beach without renting a boat to go far out to sea, which is convenient and time-saving. I tried fishing in Samaesan and caught big sea bass to cook at the accommodation. This feeling of fishing, swimming, and enjoying the sea view all at once is rare to find anywhere else.Watch fishing and swimming clips at Samaesan with mr.hotsiaSure thing

Markets and Fresh Seafood in Samaesan

After swimming and fishing until tired, I, mr.hotsia, stopped by the local Samaesan market to find fresh seafood to cook at the accommodation. Prices here are very cheap compared to Pattaya or Bangsaen, and most importantly, extremely fresh because local fishermen sell their daily catch. For those wanting to try special dishes, I recommend buying fresh squid or large shrimp to make sour curry, seaweed curry, or grill them with spicy seafood dipping sauce for a delicious treat.

Accommodation and Night Atmosphere

For those who want to stay by the sea in a peaceful atmosphere, Samaesan offers many accommodations, from small houses suitable for groups or families to resorts with full facilities. I, mr.hotsia, once stayed in a wooden beach house with an unobstructed sunset view from the balcony, perfect for those wanting to escape the hustle of Pattaya as I mentioned in my article.Nightlife in PattayaBut if you prefer a livelier atmosphere, I recommend staying in Pattaya and then driving to Samaesan for daytime relaxation.

Finally

Samaesan is a choice I, mr.hotsia, want everyone to visit at least once because it gives the feeling of experiencing the traditional sea. It’s not just beautiful, clear water but also a simple and warm local lifestyle, plus fun activities like fishing and swimming suitable for all ages.
