Another brief escape from Bangkok – one night in Bangsaen Beach. It takes a bit over an hour or a five to seven hundred baht (15$ – 22$) taxi ride to reach Bangsaen from central Bangkok. It’s not your postcard perfect Thai beach. Leave your snorkel, flippers, YSL hand bag and pretense at home. What is lacks in beauty, crystal clear water, and trash free beach it makes up for in accessibility, a steady fresh sea breeze and cheap, fresh, and very good seafood.
