Tawaen Beach

With nothing planned for the rest of the day, I went to Tawaen Beach. To be honest, I have low expectations with this trip. I just wanna be away from Central and my B2S library. Hahaha!

What I saw along the way:

Isolated Island

Fishing Boat. I love them!

Naban Port

And The Might 7-11!

I was pleasantly surprised with the beach. It was nothing like I've expected. I mean, Samae Beach disappointed me and according to the articles that I read, Samae is better than Tawaen. I beg to differ. Tawaen is wayyyy better than Samae, less crowded, cleaner water and kid friendly. You can actually walk on the seashore without bumping into the sunbeds.

Lesser Sunbeds and Umbrella

Bigger Swimming Area

Clear Water

Pretty Wooden Bridge

Fine White Sand

And Me. I gotta have my self portrait. I was alternating between reading, listening to the ocean with my eyes closed and eating. It was fun! I love going to the beach! It relaxes me. :)

There are two ways to go to Tawaen Beach depending on which time you depart. First is the Pattaya(from Bali Hai Pier) to Naban Port Route. You must take a Baht Bus located in front of 7-11 to Tawaen Beach. Second one was the direct Pattaya - Tawaen Beach Ferry. I took the first one cause I miss the direct Ferry. Returning from the beach is easy, they have every hour ferry service from 1PM til 6PM.

The Port

Going to the Ferry is a bit tricky. We were asked to cross between Ferries to get to our actual Ferry. Good thing I am young and fit. :P

No actually, I am not fit. I wanna try this but unfortunately, I got no upper body strength. LOL!

This is the cheapest beach trip I've been. All in all, I spent less than 150 THB. Here's the breakdown:

Fare to Bali Hai Pier - 10 THB
Ferry to Naban Port - 20 THB
Baht Bus to Tawaen Beach - 20 THB
Sun Bed - 20 THB
Food/Fruit - 20 THB
Ferry to Pattaya - 20 THB
Baht Bus to Soi 5 - 20 THB

For a grand total of 130 THB for a day of relaxation on a beach.
