| (Laem Ta Chi Beach) |
Date: 11 August 2018
Route: Soi Sawan Beach – Laem Ta Chi Beach
Hotel: Mutiara Resort, Pattani
From Soi Sawan Beach we decided to drive to Laem Ta Chi, a beach peninsular in Pattani. This white-sand peninsular extends far into the Gulf of Thailand from Talo-kapo Beach and curves to the west, protecting the entrance to Pattani harbor. At the end of the beach is an open area with a wider view of the sea and the coast of Pattani.
There are several ways to get to Laem Ta Chi. The most direct is by boat from the mouth of Pattani River or from the pier in Yaring, but the trip takes more than an hour. We took the less direct route, but quicker, by driving about 13 km from Pattani to Yaring following a small road across the Yaring canal which leads to the beaches and the very end of the peninsular. There are small Muslim fishing villages on the peninsular. There are also quite a number of resorts along the beach.
We stayed overnight at the chalet of Mutiara Resort for Baht1,200/night.
