It was such a wonderful day trip, and you must just look at the photo album in Picasa. We first went to the beach, which is a popular weekend destination for Thais, and not for tourists. Because it is the rainy season, which lasts until September, the beach was not that pretty, nor did it seem that swimmable - although many Thais were swimming. But, come September, it is supposed to be lovely. The rainy season brings in a lot of trash with the tides.
Speaking of the tide, this coast line has the most dramatic tide line I/ we have ever seen! When we first arrived, the boats out in the water were sitting in sand/ mud, but when we came back down on our way home to Sri Racha, the tide had come in, and wow! It really came in far up. Again, you must look at the before and after photos...
We also went up a mountain, and saw lots of monkeys, which as usual, you could buy food to feed them. They were daring little monkeys, stealing bags of food left and right, but cute all at the same time.
We then went to the "Scandinavian Village", which was listed on our map of Bangsaen... and man, this was random!! Talk about T-I-T, what was this doing here? It was a gated housing community that had a tennis court, nice apartment complexes, etc.... but in the middle of nowhere! Very weird. And nearby was a Buffalo Bill's steakhouse?!? Along that random, middle-of-nowhere road, there were other gated housing communities as well, all with posh-sounding names, but all equally as random. They weren't even near the water! Very random, very odd.
Overall, Bangsaen is a very cute town with a lot of great neighborhood exploring... and a very short distance from Sri Racha. See the photo album!
See how far the tide is out!!??
I know it's monkey mountain, but really? What's this about?
Haha, look at how the guy on fence is sitting!
Naughty Monkeys: they tore that off!
