Nang Ram Beach is a legendary coastal destination in Sattahip, situated near the Juk Samet Port and meticulously maintained by the Royal Thai Fleet. What has made this beach a long-standing favorite for travelers is its breathtaking scenery. The bay stretches for about 200 meters with clean, powdery sand and vibrant emerald waters. A unique cultural touch is the presence of life-sized statues from the famous Thai literary masterpiece Phra Aphai Mani, including the protagonist himself playing the flute, the Mermaid, and the Sea Giantess. These statues stand prominently along the shore, serving as iconic landmarks that every visitor must capture in a photo.

What truly sets Nang Ram Beach apart from other military-controlled shores is its all in one convenience. It is the top destination for families because of its organized layout. Visitors can find everything they need, including naval welfare shops, fresh seafood restaurants, cozy cafes, and water sports rental stalls all tucked under the cooling shade of massive pine trees that line the coast. Even during the scorching midday sun, guests can picnic comfortably on mats or beach chairs, enjoying the constant, refreshing sea breeze.

For those who desire a bit more solitude, a short walk southward over some small rock formations will lead you to Nang Rong Beach. This adjoining beach is the quieter sibling of Nang Ram. It offers a more serene, natural vibe with calm, shallow waters that are exceptionally safe for swimming. This area remains beautifully preserved, with a backdrop of lush green mountains and a clear view of the distant islands scattered across the Gulf of Sattahip.

For photographers and artists, Nang Ram Beach offers a charming blend of natural beauty and Thai cultural elements. Groups of friends often flock here for activities like kayaking or banana boating, which are readily available. Unlike public tourist beaches, there is no loud noise from bars or aggressive street vendors, allowing visitors to experience genuine relaxation at an affordable price, all while feeling secure under the strict supervision of naval officers.

Visiting Nang Ram Beach is more than just a trip to the sea; it’s a nostalgic journey to experience the timeless charm of Sattahip. Whether you are a "chill" traveler wanting to nap to the sound of waves or a food lover looking to share a feast by the water, Nang Ram Beach is the definitive answer for your perfect weekend escape

• Private Car: Drive toward Sattahip District and follow signs for Juk Samet Port or Nang Ram Nang Rong Beach. You will enter a military zone; while ID exchange is usually not required for this specific beach, there is a small entry fee per vehicle.

• Public Transport: Take a van to Sattahip town, then hire a blue songthaew (local pickup truck) or a private taxi to the beach entrance. Since the base is quite expansive, a private car or taxi is highly recommended.

• Train: You can take the Eastern Line train from Bangkok to the Phlu Ta Luang Railway Station

• Best Time to Visit: Accessible year-round, but for the clearest water, visit between December and March. Weekdays are especially peaceful and less crowded.

• Preparation: On weekends, try to arrive before 10:00 AM to claim a prime spot under the pine trees, as it can get quite busy.

• Activities: We recommend renting a kayak to paddle from Nang Ram to the Nang Rong side for a stunning panoramic view of the bay.

• Rules: Pets are strictly prohibited, and using charcoal grills on the sand is forbidden to maintain the beach's cleanliness.
