Krating Lai Beach, situated proximate to Pattaya city in Thailand, is a tranquil oasis renowned for its picturesque landscape. The soft and velvety sandy shores, edged by towering palm fronds, provide visitors with idyllic spots to bask in the sunshine while being sheltered from its scorching rays. The ambience of the area is further accentuated by local fishermen wading their nets and adding to its laid-back and restful ambiance.
However, it is wise to exercise caution before taking a dip in the water, which could sometimes be murky due to the muddy ocean bed. Besides a volleyball net adjoining the Cholchan Hotel, there are limited activities available on this beach.
A refreshing change from the fast-paced city life, tourists can relax in the serene environment and relish the local cuisine served at the two restaurants located beneath the verdant trees. Overall, Krating Lai Beach is a scenic and tranquil escape that offers a harmonious blend of natural beauty and peacefulness.
Visitor reviews highlight the lovely sandy beach, paved paths and trees for shade, as well as the presence of snack wagons and an ice cream seller. Complaints include the shallow water for swimming and occasional poor weather. Some visitors recommend the area for morning jogging and sunset viewing, but note that private transportation is necessary and the sea is not ideal for swimming.
Visitors to Krating Lai Beach often stay in the nearby city of Pattaya, which offers a variety of accommodations from budget to luxury, and is just a short drive away. While the Cholchan Hotel is within walking distance to the beach, many visitors prefer staying in Pattaya to enjoy its vibrant nightlife and attractions.
