Continuing my series, this is my latest road trip, to Saeng Chan beach in Rayong province.
It was my birthday and after a rough month on the personal front, I seriously needed a break. What better to relieve sadness than a motorcycle trip to the beach?
Total Distance: Approx 380 km
The initial part of the ride is nothing special, same as Pattaya which I have already covered here and here. Industrial highway with lots of traffic and a different stink every kilometre.
I left at 4:30 in the morning and it was dark, cold and miserable.
I made good time and saw the sun rise somewhere in Chonburi.
By the time I reached Rayong, the sun was out. The area around Saeng Chan beach is surrounded by beautiful canals.
The beach was mostly deserted at 07:00, so I spent some time in peace.
The beach has a unique shape, forming moon-shaped pools every few meters.
Spotted a nice lighthouse.
I needed to be back home by noon, so I left soon to grab a coffee at this cafe.
On the way back, I drove in a more leisurely manner. I spotted this interesting resort with different sections in different aeroplanes.
As expected, I took a wrong turn and accidentally entered Motorway 7, the enemy of motorcycles and had to back-track the wrong way.
All in all, a decent and relaxing trip.

The formations remind me of this popular beach – https://maps.app.goo.gl/uLFLXEBC454xmwue8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy
These are man-made though, unlike the Thai ones, I think, so don’t show up on map.
Are all the wrong turns because of no bike directions on carplay?
The wrong turns were because I made the mistake of using google maps again and there’s nothing google likes to do better than to fuck with people.
