Bang Saphan Guide

This website aims to bring you the most comprehensive guide to the Thai coastal town of Bangsaphan and its surroundings.

Bang Saphan is a sleepy beach town on the Gulf of Thailand, it can be reached from Bangkok, 380km away, in approximately 5 hours by road. There are actually two Bangsaphan's; Bangsaphan Noi and Bangsaphan Yai (meaning big and small when translated from Thai). We will focus on the larger since not a lot happens in the smaller.

This online Bang Saphan guide brings you the information you need for staying in and exploring around the area. There are several local attractions including Koh Talu where day trips are popular. We also have a detailed accommodation guide listing Bangsaphan hotels, resorts, guesthouses and bungalows.

A Bangsaphan feeding guide highlights all the local and expat restaurants serving good food. There are a couple of friendly little beach bars in Bang Saphan that are also included. A great way to spend a relaxing afternoon.

Farther afield
In addition to Bangsaphan, we also cover neighbouring Ban Krut and beaches further south towards Chumphon. Secret beaches and great local restaurants can all be found in this idyllic area of Thailand.

What's in a name?
We have used both versions of the spelling Bangsaphan and Bang Saphan on the site so that we can be found for both search terms. The Thai word ( บางสะพาน ) is all written as one but it's often broken into two when written phonetically, hence Bang Saphan!
