Chao Samran Beach is an old holiday seaside of Thailand. It used to be the site of the royal lodging pavilion of King Rama VI in 1917 before the completion of Phra Ratchaniwet Maruekkhathaiyawan Palace.

A retaining wall and walkway are built along part of its sandy mud beach about 4 kilometers long to accommodate restaurants and stalls of dried foodstuffs. As it is the beach nearest to town, people like to drop by, sit leisurely on deckchairs or dine at one of the outdoor beach-front restaurants.
