Why book this route with us

Bangkok to Sattahip

Beautiful beaches without the crowds

Nang Rong, Toei Ngam and Nam Sai beaches are managed by the navy and stay far cleaner and quieter than Pattaya's — ideal for families with small children.

Flat ฿4,600 per trip

฿4,600 for a Toyota Commuter and ฿10,000 for a Toyota Alphard, including fuel, motorway tolls, the driver and bottled water.

Close to U-Tapao Airport

Sattahip is only 20 to 30 minutes from U-Tapao, convenient for anyone flying in to relax nearby, and Pattaya is about 30 minutes away if you want to combine both.

Gateway to Samae San Island

The Samae San boat pier is in Sattahip and we drop you at the door, then agree a return pick-up time so onward transport is never a worry.

Stops & places to visit

Nang Rong Beach

A navy-managed beach with clear water and clean sand, restaurants and seating along the shore, and a small entry fee. Family-friendly and much quieter than Pattaya.

Toei Ngam Beach

Inside the marine corps camp, with dramatic boulders and fine bay views. Entry requires showing ID at the gate, and the beach opens to the public during set hours.

Samae San Island

A clear-water island under navy management, about 20 minutes by boat from Sattahip pier, with snorkelling spots and a natural history museum. Go early — boat departures are limited.

Wat Yansangwararam

A large temple complex between Pattaya and Sattahip with spacious shaded grounds, a grand chedi and handsome halls — an easy stop en route.

Nong Nooch Garden

A vast botanical garden with a dinosaur park and Thai cultural shows, between Pattaya and Sattahip. Allow about three hours; excellent for families with children.

Sattahip market and beachfront seafood

The town's fresh market offers well-priced seafood, and several beachfront restaurants stay open into the evening — a good dinner stop before returning to Bangkok.

Travel tips for this route

Several navy-managed beaches require ID at the gate, so everyone should carry theirs. Check opening hours before travelling, as some areas close for training exercises.
Boats to Samae San Island run on limited schedules and fill quickly at weekends. Arrive at the pier before 9am and confirm the island is open, as it sometimes closes for environmental recovery.
Motorway 7 is congested outbound on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. For a weekend trip, leaving before 6am on Saturday puts you in Sattahip by nine with a full day at the beach.
To combine Nong Nooch Garden, Wat Yansangwararam and Nang Rong beach in one day, book a ten-hour charter — those three alone take seven to eight hours before travel time.

Frequently asked questions

How long is Bangkok to Sattahip?

About two to two and a half hours via Motorway 7, or up to three on Friday evenings and long weekends. Leaving early on Saturday puts you there before nine with a full day ahead.

How does Sattahip differ from Pattaya?

Sattahip is far quieter, with cleaner beaches under navy management and none of Pattaya's nightlife. It suits families with young children and older travellers seeking calm, while Pattaya offers more energy and a wider choice of restaurants.

How do we visit Samae San Island?

We drop you at Sattahip pier, from where a navy boat takes about 20 minutes. Sailings are limited, so arrive before 9am and check the island is open, as it periodically closes for environmental recovery. Agree a return pick-up time with the driver.

What is included in ฿4,600?

Fuel, motorway and expressway tolls, the driver and bottled water. It is a flat one-way whole-vehicle price. Beach entry fees, island boats, attraction tickets and ฿500 per night driver accommodation are separate.

Can you transfer from U-Tapao Airport to Sattahip?

Yes — U-Tapao is only 20 to 30 minutes away and is priced as a separate short route rather than the Bangkok fare. Send the flight number and exact drop-off point on LINE and we will quote before you confirm.
