Bangsaphan Guide
This website brings 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.

Bangsaphan is still an undiscovered getaway destination so come and see it now before the crowds descend! If you have any questions please post them on our forum.

Eating and Drinking out in Bangsaphan
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 with a cold beer.

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 undiscovered 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!
