Chonburi province, in short "MUeang Chon", has been a popular seaside town of the eastern coast for a ling period of time and is the nearest beach destination to Bangkok one of the main weekend ‘getaways’ for city dwellers. There are many beautiful beaches in Chonburi such as Bang Saen and Pattaya with several attractions; for example, cabaret shows, Mini Siam, underwater world, Si Racha and Kho Sichang.
Furthermore, Chonburi is the large town of no particular interest apart from its three temples. There are Wat Dahmanimitra with its giant golden Buddha, Wat Yai Intharam with its multiple Buddhas, all facing you like imperturbable judges in a nightmare, and the tranquil Wat Sam Yot, looking out serenely over the coast.
Chonburi is the special province with interesting culture and beautiful beaches. The rapid growth of tourism has brought about many developed areas. In recent years, the city has pushed hard to clean up its image, and family-focused entertainment is increasingly available; however, the core sex-industry has ensured that the city retains its position as one of the world's most renowned party destinations.
