Chao Samran Beach

Hat Chao Samran is located in Hat Chao Samran Subdistrict, Mueang Phetchaburi District, Phetchaburi Province. It is approximately 15 kilometers from Phetchaburi City. This beach used to be an important tourist attraction since ancient times. History tells that King Naresuan the Great once visited here with King Ekathotsarot. He was so impressed by the beauty of this beach that he stayed there for many days, until the locals called this beach Hat Chao Samran. About 7 kilometers south of Hat Chao Samran is Hat Puk Tian, ​​which is another tourist attraction in Phetchaburi Province. Hat Chao Samran reached its peak during the reign of King Rama VI, which was more famous than the other beaches at that time. He ordered the construction of a royal camp called "Camp Luang Bang Thalu" after the name of Bang Thalu Subdistrict where it was located. The palace on the beach was called "Phra Tamnak Hat Chao Samran". After he recovered from his illness, he changed the name of the subdistrict, considering the original name to be inauspicious. It is a sub-district of Hat Chao Samran, named after the beach, but later the palace was moved to the current location of Mrigadayavan Palace because Hat Chao Samran was full of flies because the palace was located near a fishing village. Until he overheard his courtiers complaining that "Hat Chao Samran, but the courtiers are bored" and this beach still lacked fresh water, so he ordered the move in the end. Hat Chao Samran is a tourist attraction worth visiting. It has a peaceful atmosphere, cool air, and an abundance of marine life, such as hermit crabs, shellfish, and jellyfish. There are accommodations and convenience stores nearby. You can swim. Nearby is a fishing village. The sand on this beach has been blown up more and more, so the sand at the beginning of the beach is very fine. Therefore, this is a tourist attraction that does not have to go far and is very beautiful. #MissingNature
