Chon Buri

Choose a base first

Pattaya, Bang Saen and Si Racha are separate bases. Choose one around your main activities before adding islands or neighboring towns. Keep Ko Lan as a boat day and confirm the actual pier with the operator.

Families and evenings

Match the beach and accommodation to the group’s rest needs. Separate a late night from an early boat outing and plan the return ride.

Timing and seasons

Coastal and boat trips depend on sea conditions. Keep a town alternative and check the forecast for the actual island.

Daily planning allowances / person

Editorial starting assumptions, not surveyed or confirmed prices. Includes shared-room accommodation, food, local transport and a basic activity allowance. Excludes intercity/international tickets, visas, insurance, shopping and special activities. Replace with your own costs before booking.

Areas to consider as a base

• Pattaya
• Bang Saen
• Si Racha

Verify travel distance, noise, entrance and accessibility with the individual accommodation.

How to structure your days

1. Arrival: settle in and choose an area near your base rather than a full day after a long journey.
2. Full day: group nearby stops, check actual road travel and leave a midday break.
3. Transfer or departure: reserve travel time and a backup; do not count it as a full sightseeing day.
