Airport Taxi to Bang Saray

About Bang Saray

Bang Saray is a working fishing village about 15 kilometers south of Pattaya. Unlike its tourist-heavy neighbor, Bang Saray has retained its authentic Thai character—fishing boats still crowd the pier, seafood restaurants serve the morning catch, and village life continues largely unchanged by tourism.

The village attracts visitors seeking a quieter, more genuine Thai experience. Long-stay expats have discovered Bang Saray as a peaceful alternative to Pattaya, while day-trippers come for the seafood and beach. Development is increasing but the village core remains distinctly local.

Your Transfer to Bang Saray

Our driver will meet you at the airport arrivals hall with a sign displaying your name. The journey takes Motorway 7 south, bypassing Pattaya entirely before turning off toward Bang Saray. The village is well south of the main tourist areas, so the approach is usually traffic-free.

We'll deliver you to your exact accommodation in Bang Saray, whether that's a beachfront guesthouse, a rental house in the village, or one of the newer developments on the outskirts.

Why Visit Bang Saray?

Bang Saray offers something increasingly rare in coastal Thailand:

• Authentic village life: Watch fishermen mend nets, boats departing at dawn, temple festivals with local participation.
• Outstanding seafood: Some of the best and freshest Thai seafood in the region, at local prices.
• Peaceful beach: A long sandy beach without jet skis, touts, or beach chairs lined up for tourists.
• No nightlife scene: Evenings are quiet—perfect for those escaping Pattaya's party reputation.
• Thai prices: Food, accommodation, and services priced for locals and long-stay visitors rather than tourists.

The Bang Saray Fishing Pier

The heart of Bang Saray is its fishing pier, where the day's catch arrives each morning. Local restaurants buy directly from the boats, and visitors can watch the controlled chaos of fish being sorted, weighed, and carried away.

Several seafood restaurants line the pier area, most with tanks of live crabs, fish, and shellfish. Point at what you want, choose your cooking style, and enjoy seafood that was swimming hours earlier. Prices are significantly lower than Pattaya's tourist seafood restaurants.

Accommodation in Bang Saray

Bang Saray has limited tourist infrastructure but offers several options:

• Small guesthouses and family-run hotels
• Beach bungalow resorts
• Long-term rental houses and apartments
• U-Tapao Airport area hotels (nearby)
• Airbnb and vacation rental properties

Don't expect international chain hotels or resort facilities—Bang Saray's charm lies in its simplicity.
