Description: |
|
Ao Krathing is located in the Khao Laem Sing Forest Park. It is
a beautiful, calm small beach which is perfect for visiting,
swimming or just relaxing by the sea. It is so peaceful that it
feels like the whole beach belongs to you.
At the back of the beach, across from Laem Sing, situated
a mountain. It is only one kilometer away from the Laem Sing
Bridge. The reason why it is called “Ao Krathing” is because
there are plenty of “Krathung” trees in the area. So the
villagers started calling it “Ao Krathung”. But later, it is
slightly distorted to “Ao Krathing”. Traveling by car, the
Tha Mai-Bang Kachai route or Burapha Chonlathit Road
(Chantabhuri Esplanade) can easily access the Khao Laem Sing
Forest Park; it is approximately 25 kilometers away.
Alternatively, visitors can also use Had Laem Sing route by
crossing the Pak Nam Laem Sing Bridge to the Laem Sing Forest
Park’s office, then walk down to the beach which is around 400
meters away. While
walking down to the beach, the magnificent sea view can be seen.
There is no accommodation at the beach, but camping is
allowed. Once arriving at the beach, medium-fine yellow sand and
clear sea will be found. The water is clearer here than at Laem
Sing. Around the beach, it is chill and pleasant for
pick-nicking or swimming because of the shade of trees around
there. Ao Krathing is a one-kilometer long gulf. The nature
is still very complete with 300-meter beach lying along the
gulf. It is the finest place for family who love nature and
privacy. During holidays and festivals, there will be more
tourists, but still not that many. So the beach still keeps it
natural beauty perfectly. Visitors can contact officers for
camping application to stay around the beach. Toilets and large
parking area are available at the Laem Sing forest park.
Visitor’s safety is assured by the forest park’s officers
as they are always on duty. Ao Krathing is one of the
interesting places to visit. It is not so far away from Bangkok
and it makes a good place for family to come and relax. |
