I often received questions regarding a clean peaceful beach in Thailand without jet skis, banana boats, and people trying to sell things to visitors. I myself prefer an absolute relaxing holiday. Sometimes I go further to the south, just an hour flight from Bangkok, and sometimes I prefer somewhere near Bangkok without flying anywhere.
Satthahip สัตหีบ is one of my quick getaway destinations from the capital. It is just less than two hours drive from Bangkok, or a half hour drive, about 30 kilometers south of the hectic Pattaya city. Here is a small paradise, faraway from traffic and noises. Either you are a family with young kids or you are looking for a private retreat for a couple, this place would be heaven.
Let me just share the pictures I took with my old iPhone. The resort I stayed is called Sea Sand Sun Resort and Villas. There is also U Pattaya next door, I went to walk around but I prefer this place as they have large beautiful ground area.
Other peaceful beaches in Thailand that I love:
1. The Surin Islands – https://bit.ly/209zyTF
(This island is completely quiet with no vehicles, no phone signal neither electricity during the day! You would come back with your mind refreshed!)
2. Tien Beach in Koh Tao – https://bit.ly/2HBZNgW
3. Sunrise beach in Koh Lipe – https://bit.ly/2xAEgSZ
4. Klong Muang Beach or Tub Kaek beach in Krabi – https://bit.ly/2QSTtXG
5. Hua Hin – https://bit.ly/2GAAjjj

Sawatdee krap Mod 🙂 This is a great article. Very interesting tips. I recently, Oct 28 – Nov 1, spent 3 days in Koh Lanta at La Laanta Hideaway on Bamboo Beach. Very peaceful, relaxing, and secluded. No motor boats and and amazing view of Phi Phi Islands off in the distance, from the beach front resort.
Your Thai language lessons and videos on YouTube are excellent. I watch 2 every day. Thank you, and Pear too, so much for all the great videos. Please keep up the great videos.
Smile!
