Laem Sing Beach @Chanthaburi

Laem Sing Beach is a beautiful beach in Chanthaburi, known for its reddish-brown sand, which results from the mixing of silt and clay. This area is the estuary where the Chanthaburi River flows out, known as Pak Nam Laem Sing. Although it may not be ideal for swimming, it has a unique charm. The beach is lined with seating areas and restaurants. For those looking to relax, there are plenty of accommodation options nearby. The scenic views around Laem Sing Beach include Chula Island and Laem Sing Hill. The name 'Laem Sing' comes from Laem Sing Hill, which has a rock formation resembling a crouching lion extending into the sea. Besides being a popular tourist destination in Chanthaburi, it is also a significant historical site from the R.S. 112 era when the French occupied Chanthaburi and blockaded the estuary with warships. The Red Building, used as a command post, and the Chicken Poop Prison are located near the beach.
