Do you know the way to Bangkok beach? - February 2, 2002
Although the signs say "beach" (in
Thai), there is no beach, but you can take a
boat ride out through the canals to the sea
for 60 baht per person. Go to the Dao Kahnong
side of the Chao Phraya River to Rama II Road.
Go south (or left) on Bang Khun Thian Road.
Turn left on the last left-hand turn before
the end of the road. After a couple of kilometers,
turn right into the grounds of a wat just before
a steep bridge. From there you can take the
hour and a half round-trip to the sea. And be
sure to eat at one of the seafood restaurants
along Bang Khun Thian Road. We recommend Krua
Sawang Seafood (tel. 0-2849-3191). On the way
back, take the newly completed (and virtually
deserted) ring road (Road 9) from Bang Khun
Thian Road to Suk Sawat Road and then over Rama
IX Bridge and back into Bangkok.
