Prince Chumphon Khet Udomsak Palace at Laem Sing, Chanthaburi Province, is a sacred site that tourists should not miss when visiting the area. It was built to honor and commemorate Admiral Prince Abhakara Kiartivongsa, Prince of Chumphon, who is highly revered as the "Father of the Royal Thai Navy," affectionately known as "Saded Tia" (The Royal Great-Grandfather). The site is perched on a hilltop, providing a clear and commanding view of the bay area.

The palace's distinctive feature is its location, which faces the sea and offers an extensive and beautiful panorama of the Laem Sing Bridge (Taksin Maharatch Bridge) and the Laem Sing Beach area. Many people visit to pay their respects and ask for blessings for good fortune, safety during travels, and success. It is a common belief to make offerings, including setting off firecrackers, which makes the atmosphere lively yet deeply imbued with faith.

Visitors primarily focus on paying homage and seeking blessings. However, due to its location, the site serves as an excellent scenic viewpoint. Guests can spend time strolling around the palace grounds, enjoying the sea breeze, and photographing the beautiful coastal and sea vistas. A visit here is considered an act of respect for Thai history and a national hero
