Best Beaches in Bangkok
Bangkok itself does not have beaches, but there are several beach areas within an easy journey from Bangkok either by taxi, bus or some destinations by train. Although it is relatively cheap to fly to beaches and islands some people want to spend a few days (or longer) at a beach close to Bangkok so they simply take a taxi from their Bangkok hotel and arrive straight at their beach resort some cases a boat or ferry ride is needed.
