Bang Saphan is about4 and a half or 5 hours by road south of Bangkok along the coast, a couple of hours south of Hua hin. Bang Saphan is thought of as well off the beaten track but for those who want quiet beaches and really discover the local Thai way of life at quiet beaches it is well worth a visit. The beaches around Bang Saphan include Baan Krut and others, also Koh Talu island which is good for snorkeling.
Do not expect nightlife or shopping, these are local town and village areas along the lovely coastline.
