Overlooks scenic coasts in Chanthaburi
Noen Nang Phaya Viewpoint is a scenic locale located on a hill overlooking a long scenic coast in Chanthaburi. This viewpoint is a highly-recommended gateway destination for first-time visitors who are travelling to the city.
Once you trek up, expect panoramic views of the winding Chaloem Burapha Chonlathit Road along a large turquoise ocean. Farther up ahead lies Kung Wiman Beach, where you could visit right after the viewpoint to unwind – whether it’s via a short walk along the shoreline or listening to the sound of waves.
Biking lane & love lock fence
Another point that’s worth-mentioning is that we love the fact that the road provides bicycle lanes for bikers, as a scenic route for enthusiastic riders. However, don’t worry if biking isn’t your cup of tea, you can opt to drive along the road to take in the ocean views as well.
For couples yearning for a spot to declare your love in front of the world, please pay attention to the fences around you at the viewpoint. Eagle-eyed visitors will definitely spot many love locks fastened along the stainless bars on the fences. Leaving your mark here as a couple via a love lock, will be a meaningful way to reminisce on the memories you made with bae on your trip.
If you can stay till the evening comes, we urge you to do so since this is also a nice spot to watch the sunset. With a little patience, we’re sure you’ll be able to capture sunset moments on your IG stories.
Getting to Noen Nang Phaya Viewpoint
If it won’t steal much of your time away from other travel plans, we think a quick visit here would be worthwhile. With its panoramic views of the winding coast, you’ll be hard-pressed to see something similar elsewhere.
To drive here from Bangkok, it will take you about 3.5 hours, or you can go with a bus ride from around ฿200 (~USD6), depending on the bus company. Apart from this viewpoint, we encourage y’all to keep exploring and find out more things about Chanthaburi you’ll prolly fall in love with.
