Hu Laem Pagoda in the Sea is located near the Ban Hu Laem Fishing Pier in the Na Yai Am district of Chanthaburi. This pagoda is over 200 years old and is highly revered by local fishermen as a sacred place. It serves as a spiritual anchor for seafarers who pay their respects before long voyages, praying for safety from waves and dangers.

The pagoda stands prominently on a rock outcrop in the water, about 50 meters from the shore. What makes this place a compelling tourist attraction is the long wooden bridge built through the faith of the Ban Hu Laem fishing community, allowing visitors to walk right up to the pagoda and admire the surrounding landscape. The image of the white pagoda set against the turquoise sea and the rocks is truly beautiful and classic.

The surrounding Ban Hu Laem fishing village is an old coastal settlement, allowing visitors to experience a unique local way of life, as most residents are fishermen. The atmosphere around the pier is therefore natural and peaceful, perfect for relaxing in the sea breeze and immersing oneself in the coastal community culture.
