I once went to Bang Saen to see the temple of Hell and Paradise, and at the same time went to the city beach Bang Saen Beach. There are many Thais on weekends who come to rest from Bangkok, that is, on the one hand, the place is a resort, but not for foreigners.

Beach description
In my opinion, Bang Saen beach looks like Pattaya,only cleaner and the atmosphere is different. The beach is closest to Bangkok, which is quite convenient. Indeed, in the capital there is generally everything that is needed, including an international airport. On the other hand, the sea here is not very clean, such a metropolis is nearby.
The sea, to be honest, doesn’t please the eye at all - there are no azure or turquoise hues, the water is permanently greenish and muddy. But as a beach for sunbathing, Bang Sung is quite a good place.
Sunset, depth and waves
The coast is shallow, takes a long time in depth, thereforethe sea here is shallow and the tides have a serious effect on the beach's cupability - the sea goes about fifty meters. Despite the color of the sea, people swim, and apparently, the depth over the shoulders comes no earlier than 20 meters from the coast. In windy weather waves occur, but in general it is a very calm beach.
Sun beds and shade
The beach is wide and bald, trees grow only alongroads and planted them for purely decorative purposes. Nevertheless, people can be many, not for nothing that the whole beach is covered with chaise-longues, they stand in dense rows. All lounger groups are connected to a cafe where you can order various Thai food and seafood. Expect a tropical paradise from Bangsaen beach.

Infrastructure
Since the beach is in the city, there is enough infrastructure. City, in a word. There is everything from hospitals to stadiums, several parks, entertainment, several well-known attractions, like the Temple of Hell and Paradise. Along the whole beach there is a pedestrian street, on which cafes are located and also rental tandem family bikes.
Parallel to the beach, literally ten meters from the water, there is still a motor road, and immediately after it begins urban construction.
Houses and hotels on the beach
Some tourists come here not on vacation, butlive, because here you can rent a condo or house for a long time. There are many housing options for a different taste and wallet. Only it is necessary to consider that in English in this part of Pattaya they speak little and you may have some difficulties in communication with property owners, if it is a private house or apartment.
Hotels in Pattaya>
Be sure (and I insist) check availabilitydiscounts or special offers on the excellent Roomguru service. It will quickly and simply show you discounts in all existing reservation systems. In Asia, for example, there are lots of offers on Agoda.com that are much more interesting than on exactly the same hotels on Booking.com.
How to find the beach
There is no longer a bus station on the Victory Monument, the military has removed all routes removed from there, now it is only to go from the bus stations. With Victoria, now only on the shuttle to the bus station you can go.
Minibas and buses run from Ekkamai bus station, located at the station of the same name BTS Ekkamai (you will find on the map, under the post). The cost of the trip - 100 baht per person.

Bang Saen beach map: Life hacking 1 - how to buy a good insurance
Choosing insurance is now unrealistically difficult, so to help all travelers, I compile a rating. To do this, I constantly monitor forums, study insurance contracts and use insurance by myself.
Life hacking 2 - how to find a hotel 20% cheaper
First, choose a hotel on Booking. They have a good offer base, but the prices are NOT the best! The same hotel can often be found 20% cheaper in other systems through the RoomGuru service.
