Until recently Bang Saray was a sleepy fishing
village where the only activity was the coming and going
of the small wooden fishing craft as they depart each day to
make their catch. Recently, due to the superb location it has been
“slightly” developed by one or two high end villa projects. However, it still
maintains its “olde worlde charm”. The gentle sloping beach and the calm turquoise
waters are rarely busy and offer an excellent opportunity for relaxing and eating
local barbecue and seafood dishes.
Only a couple of hundred metres in from the beach road stands the impressive
Bang Saray Temple (Wat) with its tall roofs and highly decorated spires. If you are
an early riser it is possible to see the monks on their daily rounds, collecting food
and performing ritual blessings to the people.
