The Ultimate Guide to Bang Saray – Thailand’s Hidden Beach Paradise
If you’re dreaming of a tropical escape where golden beaches meet authentic Thai culture, fresh seafood is served daily, and life moves at a slower pace, Bang Saray deserves a place at the top of your travel list.
Located just 20 kilometres south of Pattaya on Thailand’s eastern Gulf Coast, Bang Saray has quietly become one of the country’s most desirable seaside destinations. While Pattaya offers excitement and entertainment, Bang Saray offers something increasingly rare—peace, space, and an authentic coastal lifestyle.
Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a golf break, a romantic getaway, or an extended winter stay, Bang Saray combines natural beauty with modern convenience. Staying at Bang Saray Villa Resort puts you close to the area’s best beaches, attractions, restaurants, and championship golf courses while providing the privacy and comfort of your own villa.
Where is Bang Saray?
Bang Saray is a traditional fishing village in Chonburi Province, approximately:

Its location makes it ideal for travellers who want easy access to major attractions without staying in a busy city.
Unlike many resort destinations that have grown rapidly, Bang Saray has retained much of its local character. Fishing boats still leave the harbour each morning, seafood restaurants line the waterfront, and the beach remains a place where locals and visitors relax together.
