Ao Tan Khu  is a place where simplicity has been refined into the most captivating charm of the Laem Ngob district. Its geography features a sweeping curved bay lined with lush, shady trees. However, what sets it apart from other beaches is its visual alignment with Koh Chang. Visitors standing on the soft, tan sands of Ao Tan Khu will see the Koh Chang mountain range towering on the opposite side like a massive natural wall rising from the emerald waters. This vista provides a sense of grandeur yet remains profoundly peaceful, with small local fishing boats floating offshore a constant reminder of a life that slows down with every passing minute.

The undeniable icon that must be mentioned is the Twin Palm Trees that stand tall against the sea breeze along the shore, serving as both a landmark and a testament to the area's historical fertility. The sunlight filtering through coconut fronds onto beachside dining tables creates a relaxed atmosphere that is hard to find in the city. The highlight here is not just visual beauty, but the taste of the sea. Ao Tan Khu is a hub for flavorful seafood restaurants that source ingredients directly from the Bang Pit fishing community, making every bite a rare encounter with freshness at accessible prices, turning it into a true "seafood lover's paradise.

As the sun begins to dip, Ao Tan Khu transforms into a stage for nature’s light show. The sky shifts from soft pastels to intense, concentrated golden oranges. The final rays fall behind the silhouette of Koh Chang's peaks, creating a sharp and beautiful shadow over the waters of Trat Bay. During this time, the once lively beach becomes romantic and serene a perfect space to let your heart go with the sound of the waves and experience true relaxation without any artificial embellishments.
