Have you ever been to Chanthaburi? Of course, more than half of you must have been there...
However, if you ask, "Have you experienced all the flavors of Chanthaburi?" More than half would probably answer, "Not yet!!!"
What are the attractions in Chanthaburi?
The answer is that there are so many places to visit in Chanthaburi that we haven't even seen half of them yet. It's a city that has everything you could possibly want, from culture and attractions to food, fruit, atmosphere, natural scenery, and friendly local people. We've been there twice, so I'll just combine them into one trip.
Pin 12 recommended tourist spots in Chanthaburi that you should not miss
Affordable Accommodation in Chanthaburi
Before embarking on our exploration of Chanthaburi's attractions, securing comfortable and budget-friendly accommodation is crucial. The province boasts a wide range of lodging options catering to diverse budgets. However, for those of us who frequently travel on weekends and holidays, our vacation days dwindle, and our wallets grow thinner, much to the chagrin of our employers.
Therefore, meticulous planning and selecting reasonably priced accommodations are essential. Ideally, the lodgings should be both affordable and appealing, allowing us to allocate remaining funds for further adventures.
Starting Point: Tha Ma Chan (Riverside Community of Chanthaburi)
"If you come to Chanthaburi, sleep at Tha Ma Chan," goes the local saying. This charming riverside community offers a glimpse into the town's rich history and vibrant culture.
Today, we would like to recommend a unique and artistic accommodation option, which we personally favor due to its convenient location and proximity to various attractions. Situated in the historic riverside community of Chanthaburi, this accommodation boasts a stylish and modern design, seamlessly blending contemporary and traditional elements. The rooms are exceptionally stylish, offering a truly immersive experience.
The hotel's name is well-known, but when I saw it, I was blown away. The design is incredibly modern, incorporating both Thai and hip-hop elements. There's even live music in the evenings for a relaxing atmosphere. Best of all, the price is only a little over a thousand baht (you can book through hotelscombined, an app that compares hotel prices to help you find the best deal!). Check it out at www.hotelscombined.co.th.
Affordable and convenient, simply open the app and type in the name of the province or location you want to stay in. Then select your check-in and check-out dates, enter the number of guests, and click search. The app's advantage is that it displays prices from all websites, allowing you to compare them without having to visit each site individually. This saves you time and ensures you get the best possible price. The simple steps are illustrated in the image below.
After that, we will arrive at page 2, which looks like this. There are options for homestays, hotels, and guesthouses. We scrolled through the pictures, but we wanted to stay somewhere with a contemporary vibe, something that captured the old-world charm of Chanthaburi but with a modern twist. That's why we ended up here at "Tha Ma Chan."
Upon seeing the prices, we couldn't help but smile. There are various price options available, sourced from multiple websites. Feel free to compare and choose the one that suits your needs. Once you've found the perfect deal, simply click "Book" to secure it. (This app is accessible worldwide, making it a must-have for travel enthusiasts. It's a fantastic way to save money on your trips.)

The morning market here starts at 4 am and runs until around 6 am every day. If you're an early riser, come and experience the local way of life. They sell simple, home-cooked food at affordable prices, but the taste is definitely worth it.
We arrived very late, and most of the food has been taken. However, there are still many delicious Thai desserts available, priced at only 10-20 baht per box.
This is so delicious! I went and bought 6 boxes, and another 3 boxes in the morning... I even bought some to take home as gifts. It's really delicious, and not too sweet. Perfectly balanced. ^^ I'll definitely be back for more.
Near the market, there is a charming homestay called "Chan De Bua" offering affordable rooms at only 500 baht per person. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. Guests can also borrow bicycles from the homestay to explore the nearby market, which is conveniently located within cycling distance.

A medium-sized waterfall, approximately 25 meters high, with crystal-clear water. The atmosphere is peaceful and secluded, with few visitors (we went around 4 pm and only encountered two other people). It is smaller than Pliew Waterfall, but the water is significantly clearer. I must say, I truly enjoyed this place. Playing soft music and dipping my feet in the cool water was simply heavenly. It may not be tall, but the water is incredibly clear!
