Enjoy the view of Bangsaen at Khao Sam Muk
#ChonburiTravel
🔥We recommend a 360-degree viewpoint of Bangsaen's oceanfront, located on a hill. Head to Khao Sam Muk, a scenic spot on the Sam Muk Cape near the Sam Muk Shrine. There's a large steel sign on the cliff face, and a walkway where you can sit and enjoy the sea breeze.
🔥There are no public buses to this location, so it's best to drive your own car.
📌Location: Khao Sam Muk Viewpoint, Saen Suk Subdistrict, Mueang District, Chonburi Province

Let's go take pictures at the Bangsaen viewpoint, Khao Sam Muk.
#TravelChat
The Khao Sam Muk viewpoint used to be just a road around the back of the mountain with a fence where you could park and watch the sunset. However, it's been renovated with many improvements, including beautiful benches for sitting, enjoying the view, and taking photos with the sea. Now, there's a large, long, white sign that says "BANGSAENKAOSAMMUK." It's a must-see landmark for a photo op when visiting Bangsaen. Nearby, there are several cafes with beautiful views, perfect for enjoying a cool drink alongside the Khao Sam Muk view. #KhaoSamMuk #KhaoSamMukViewpoint

Secret beach with a Korean feel at Bangsaen, Khao Sam Muk
#Popular photo spot, new landmark, hidden, Korean feel, Bangsaen, here is 🍍 𝑪𝒂𝒔𝒂 𝑻𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒊𝒌𝒂
Very good mood, like being at Haeundae Beach, Korea 😆
There are both a restaurant and a cafe area, delicious food
Min came in the evening, recommended 18:00, it's very good
But you should book a table, the view is good, the outermost area has a DJ playing records, walk down to the beach, the sun sets behind the horizon, hitting the water
Indescribably beautiful, if you want a Korean feel, near Bangkok, you must come, it's all mellow. P.S. The staff is also lovely.

Red Temp Coffee
Cafes with sea views are not easy to find.
Now, Chonburi Municipality has transformed Khao Sam Muk into a tourist spot where tourists can come for a walk, enjoy the breeze, and enjoy a 180-degree view of the sea on Khao Sam Muk. There is also a beautiful cafe where we can sit and relax, sip coffee, and eat delicious snacks.
The coffee is also good with the Yuzu Orange Americano 🍊 menu.
Banana cake 🍌 goes well with coffee. The bitterness and sweetness go well together. It is suitable for starting a trip in the morning.
Note: This shop has a rule that 1 customer per 1 drink menu.
The shop is open every day.
9:00-18:00 hrs.

This is Khao Sam Muk, not Korea.
A photo corner at Khao Sam Muk that makes you look like you're in Korea. This corner gives you a very beautiful composition. The sky contrasts with the sea and the background of the cafe, making the picture look like you're in Korea. It can be said that this is a place that you can't miss. In the area of Khao Sam Muk Viewpoint, you can also do many activities, such as watching the sunset in the evening, taking a walk to see the view, taking beautiful photos, or exercising, which is super chill. Or if you want to sit and relax in the breeze, it's just as awesome. #BangsaenCafe #Bangsaen #KhaoSamMuk

Khao Kheow Zoo
Khao Kheow Zoo is very large and can be a challenge to walk around, but there are trolley buses that circulate throughout the zoo, so it's easy to get around. While watching the animal shows is fun, simply strolling around the zoo is also enjoyable.
You can observe giraffes up close and personal, and even see elephants swimming underwater. The popular hippopotamus, Muden, has grown a little, but he was still as adorable as ever.
The zoo also has rest areas and a cafe, so it's a great place to take a break when it gets hot or you're tired.
One thing to note is that there are many monkeys in the zoo, and we saw several cases of people having plastic bags stolen by the monkeys. It's recommended to carry food in a way that's not visible.
Adults and children alike can enjoy the zoo all day long, but it's safest to visit if you take precautions against the monkeys.

Be careful of the monkeys @ Khao Sam Muk
#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck
Khao Sam Muk in Chonburi Province is another popular tourist destination, offering a stunning view of Bang Saen Beach. Khao Sam Muk is located between Ang Sila and Laem Tan.
Monkeys often descend from the mountain at the viewpoint. Some are tame, while others love to snatch food from tourists.
If you're visiting here and don't want to encounter monkeys snatching your belongings, don't bring food with you before getting out of your car. Otherwise, you'll become a target for them.
The best time to visit this scenic spot is in the evening before sunset, to witness the sun slowly setting over the Bang Saen Sea.

Sunset at Khao Sam Muk – A Scenic Viewpoint Over Bang Saen Bay
I must admit, Khao Sam Muk is one of the most romantic viewpoints in Bang Saen, especially during sunset. The atmosphere is tranquil, with a gentle sea breeze and a sky transitioning from orange to golden purple, softly reflecting on the water.
From the viewpoint atop the hill, you can see the sweeping curve of Bang Saen Bay stretching to the horizon. It's the perfect spot to sit quietly with someone special or simply sit alone and let your mind drift with the day's last light.
In the evening, people gather along the railings to enjoy the sunset at a leisurely pace. Some couples bring snacks for a small picnic, creating a warm and simple romantic ambiance.
Khao Sam Muk is not just a legendary symbol of love but also a place that can gently soothe your soul once again. 🧡🌅

💙 "Khao Sam Muk or Busan?"
Cool breeze blowing, the sound of waves gently crashing by the ear, walking slowly along the cliffside walkway, seeing the view of the sea as far as the eye can see, as if you have entered a Korean series. 🌤️
The white iron railing and the walkway by the sea are the photo spots that give off a Seoul or Busan feel. Whether you stand and stare at the sea or turn to smile at the camera, it's all so sweet. 📷✨
A normal corner that when the warm sunlight hits it, makes your heart beat faster...like the love confession scene in the series. 💌

Another cafe that has me falling in love: Burgundy Bangsaen 🌠
Let's go to another cafe that is very famous in Bangsaen because it is very crowded. If it is a long holiday like this, I recommend going on a weekday because the view is more beautiful. But the shop is good because there are many staffs, so you don't have to wait long. But if you go during a busy time, you may have to wait for a seat (indoor zone) because it is hot during the day and people will compete for this zone. But if you go in the evening, the outdoor zone has a good view, good air, and great atmosphere. 🌊
The shop does not only have dessert and beverage cafes. 🥨 There is also a zone for ordering savory food and alcohol. 🍷 It is a very complete shop. (But I think the cakes are a bit expensive. It is just my opinion. It is not that great.)
The drinks I ordered were plum soda and pure matcha, which are essential. But the plum soda is super delicious. I have to say this. If you like sour and sweet, you have to try it. 🧊
We went during the day. The sun was a bit strong, but the light was beautiful. The sea view gave a different atmosphere. 🌞
🕰️bOpening hours: 9:00-22:00 (no holidays)
💰Average price per person: 100-300
📍Address: Around Khao Sam Muk (Bangsaen)
Note: There is also accommodation next door. I will try staying there and will come back to review it.

Bangsaen viewpoint📍
👉🏻Today, I will recommend a place to watch the beautiful sunset in Bangsaen. I must say that when talking about Bangsaen, everyone will think of the sea. But I would like to recommend everyone to try visiting Bangsaen Beach during sunset. You will see Bangsaen Beach from another angle.
🌅 The most beautiful sunset viewpoint that we have ever seen in Bangsaen is Khao Sam Muk, Bangsaen Beach and Won Beach. The sky is Vanilla Sky, very beautiful.

Khao Sam Muk
No matter how many times I go, I still like Khao Sam Muk. The atmosphere is good. You can sit and watch the sea view, cool breeze, beautiful sunset. There are many monkeys. There is a cafe for you to relax and chill. It is another recommended place. Another popular check-in point in Chonburi. There are quite a lot of people and cars. But this place is also very beautiful for taking pictures.

The most iconic check-in sign: "Bangsaen Kaosammuk"
#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck
### 🌅 Review of Khao Sam Muk Viewpoint: Bangsaen Sign & Amazing Sea View
**📍 The most iconic check-in sign**
The white letter sign "Bangsaen Kaosammuk" is a landmark that is a favorite of photographers! Decorated in a minimalist style, it is located on the seaside walkway near the Red Temp Coffee cafe. This corner gives off a Korean feel. The afternoon light reflects on the letters, creating a reflection on the floor, adding dimension to the image. Especially in the evening, when the golden light shines on the sign, it makes it even more outstanding.
**🌊 180° sea view, a wide angle in the heart of Bangsaen**
From the viewpoint on the hilltop, you can see a panoramic view of Bangsaen Beach and Ang Sila without any obstacles. The "sunset" period (17:30-18:30) is the highlight: the orange light reflects off the water surface, along with the floating fishing boats, creating the most romantic images. The 500-meter walking path is decorated with iron arches and wooden balconies. Help increase the relaxation corner with a view along the way
**⚠️ Things to know before going**
- **Lord of the Mountain: A herd of wild monkeys** Found on the top of the mountain and the path down to the Sam Muk Shrine. Keep food/valuables hidden because they may be snatched.
- **Full time:** 16:00-18:30 Beautiful light, cool breeze and not too hot. Avoid at night because the road is lonely and the shrine closes at 18:00.
- **Getting there:** Emphasize private cars or rent a songthaew from Nong Mon Market. There is no public transportation to reach.
> **Summary:** Bangsaen sign and the sea view of Khao Sam Muk are the perfect pair for relaxation. Good for photographers and couples 🧡 But don't forget to "come in the morning and return in the evening" and prepare your camera! 📸
