Sattahip (สัตหีบ) is on the gulf coastline of [[East_(Thailand)|Eastern Thailand]], at the southwest tip of Chonburi Province.

An introduction to Sattahip

Sattahip is a small fishing town by the sea. It has hosted for decades a large Royal (Thai) Navy and Marine Corps base. Domestic tourists come to pay homage to Luang Pho I, a renowned Buddhist monk.

Sattahip is twice as large as the Banglamung neighborhood in which Pattaya City is located but it has a much smaller population. The availability of land has resulted in the construction of many large tourist attractions. These are marketed as 'Pattaya attractions' to tourists visiting nearby Pattaya.

Get in

  • U-Tapao-Rayong-Pattaya International Airport IATA Code: UTP | Just east of Sattahip neighborhood; for details, see Pattaya#By plane.

There are buses from Bangkok Eastern (Ekamai) bus hub to Sattahip, but also buses going to Rayong, Chantaburi or Trat can drop you off on Sukhumvit Road (Highway 3).

Or to buck the trend big time, go by rail (3rd class, weekdays only) between Bangkok Hualamphong station and Sattahip. The fare for the 4.5 hour train ride is just 37 Baht. Departs Bangkok at 06:55 and arrives at Sattahip after 11:00; departs Sattahip 13:35, arrives at Bangkok after 18:15. But don't forget, no trains on Saturdays or Sundays.

Get around

White Baht buses (songthaews) run along Sukhumvit Road (Highway 3) and take you also to Pattaya for 20 Baht. They may be adequate if you stay in Na Jomtien or Bang Sa-Re area because the beach and resorts are 0.8-1.4 kilometers (0.5-0.9 mi) from Highway 3. For points inland and further south you will be struggling without your own transportation.
