“Laem Sadet Beach is a long beach with a good atmosphere. It is a beautiful beach with a peaceful atmosphere, full of large trees, such as pine trees.”
Laem Sadet Beach is a highly tranquil and natural beach situated within the Kung Krabaen Bay area, continuous with Chao Lao Beach. The name "Laem Sadet" originates from a significant historical event where Her Majesty Queen Rambhai Barni visited and planted trees in the area. The beach's defining feature is the neatly planted and beautiful rows of casuarina (pine) trees, which offer ample shade for visitors to relax, lay down mats, or comfortably enjoy the sea view. The sandy beach area is wide and has a reddish-brown color, making it a perfect spot for family relaxation or for those genuinely seeking to escape urban chaos.
What makes Laem Sadet Beach special and significant for tourism is its location as the home of the Chaloem Phra Kiat 60th Anniversary Aquarium (KKB Aquarium), operated by the Kung Krabaen Bay Royal Development Study Center. This facility plays a vital role in providing knowledge on the conservation of marine resources and aquatic animals native to the Kung Krabaen Bay area. Visitors can observe the diverse marine life and learn about the local ecosystem up close, making a visit to Laem Sadet Beach a blend of enjoyable seaside relaxation and natural science education.
