“Where can we go on weekends… besides Hua Hin, Pattaya, and Khao Yai?” This is a question that we two often talk about because we are busy with our regular jobs on weekdays and can only travel on weekends. This time, we decided to go to “Chanthaburi.” Honestly, when we actually went there, we were like, “Wow!” It’s close to Bangkok and has everything (it’s on the coast, has waterfalls, historical sites, great communities, and the food is cheap and delicious). It’s a province that we definitely need to find an opportunity to visit again. So, let’s go on an adventure with 10 fun check-ins in Chanthaburi :D

This trip, we stayed at the @Peggy's Cove Resort, a colorful resort modeled after the fishing village of Peggy's Cove in Canada. The resort also has a restaurant and fun activities, including making your own tie-dye shirt.

8. The Unique Dessert Community by the Nong Bua Canal

This is an ancient community, where everything from the houses and food to the people themselves feels steeped in history. It's hard to say which of these three aspects is the most ancient. They have some bizarrely named snacks, but that's just their style - straightforward and honest, like the people themselves. :D Most importantly, ***bring a wad of cash (20 baht bills)*** because their food is incredibly cheap! You can find things for as little as 5-10 baht each!

After a light snack, it's time to get serious with our meal at Light House restaurant, a charming establishment decorated in a fisherman's style and conveniently located within the Peggy's Cove Hotel where we are staying.

Visiting Chanthaburi offers a complete experience, both in terms of sightseeing and dining. As Chanthaburi is home to a large fishing community, we decided to end our trip with a delicious seafood feast at Ruean Rim Nam Chanthaburi (a 2018 Wongnai user's choice award winner).
