It's finally Friday! Let's go relax by the sea! 🏖️

Checking my wallet, I only have 500 baht. What should I do? I open the map and see that I'm going to the beach. Haha, that's the topic.

I came across a small bay, a tiny dot on the map. Oops, I forgot that this province is also on the coast.

Our destination for this trip is Samut Prakan Province.

However, the beaches here lack the white sands and bikini-clad women often associated with coastal destinations. Despite its proximity to the sea, the province does not offer the typical beach experience.

However, it is a coastal area, so it might have a similar atmosphere. After all, the budget is limited.

My heart skipped a beat when I called to ask if there were any vacancies. "Oh, we're completely booked for the weekend," they replied.

Do you have a tent? You can pitch it here for 400 baht. We'll provide three full meals with seafood.

I agree, let's go! We've talked enough, it's time to embark on our journey.


Let's carry the tent and get on the bus! Haha!

We took bus number 82 from Wongwian Yai and got off at the last stop, Phra Pradaeng Market.

Carrying a tent on the bus, that's how we roll! Haha.

The old man with the bag asked, "Where are you going into the forest, young man?"

We then took a songthaew.

We apologize, but we did not capture where it originated from.

As soon as I got off the car, I immediately got on a blue songthaew that said Phra Pradaeng - Phra Samut Chedi (it was the last stop).

The ride takes about 30 minutes and costs 8 baht.

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

Then, take a songthaew to Phra Samut Chedi.

The side of the car will say "Chedi - A. Sakhla 8 baht all the way", tell them you're going to Khun Samut Chin.

They will drop us off at Auntie Li's pier to transfer to another boat.

Any bus route that reaches Phra Samut Chedi will do. If I recall correctly, route 20 should be the one.

However, the issue is that I am carrying a tent, which is bulky. Most of the vehicles on Route 20 are small cars or air-conditioned buses, making it difficult to load the tent.

Auntie Li's Pier

It took about an hour to drive from Phra Samut Chedi.

They told me to get off here and take a boat to continue.



The real journey is about to begin.





Before embarking on this journey, I created a series of videos documenting my experiences. I served as the host, cameraman, editor, and solo traveler. Haha!
These videos capture the atmosphere I encountered and the stories I wanted to share.
This is the setting: Baan Khun Samut Chin, Samut Prakan Province.


Please consider my work. Thank you.

From the pier, we waited for a short while before a boat approached us. The boatman asked us where we were headed and if we were going to Ban Khun Samut Chin.

The boat is a chartered boat. Please wait at the pier and they will pick you up.

The fixed price is 100 baht. The second person pays an additional 10 baht. However, if you are alone, please wait for a while for another person to share the cost.

We waited for a while, and a local resident came along. The boat fare was 60 baht.

The atmosphere is pleasant, allowing for a relaxing scenic view.

After enjoying the view and admiring the houses around for about half an hour,

We have arrived at the Ban Khun Samut Chin Pier.

Carry the tent all the way to the end.

Along the way, there are guesthouses or homestays available.

Feel free to choose as you like, or visit the central area of the Khun Samut Chin Tourist Center.

The older brother will find it for us, but today we brought a tent. We will go to sleep in the rice field. 555



Please proceed to the end of the path.

The accommodation we discussed is Wang Yai Homestay.

However, due to our sudden plan change, the accommodation here is fully booked!

However, Ms. Noona informed me that camping is permitted for 400 baht, which includes three full meals.

Note: However, for houses, they are not charged per unit.

The cost is 500 baht per person, including three meals.

Small or large, or even camping, it's up to you.

Please note that advance reservations are required.

It's like being kicked out of the house, haha. We have to pitch a tent next to the kitchen.

However, the people who come to stay at the homestay feel envious of our view. Haha, would you like to switch with us? Haha

The first meal was a real feast.

Every dish is delicious, especially the fried fish cakes, which are incredibly fresh. If you want anything fresher, you'll have to eat it in the water!

With full bellies, we set off to explore the area.

What are some good photo spots or interesting stories here?

Interesting, but why do I feel like I want a house here?

There are many homestays here.

Both community-owned and privately-owned by local residents.

However, if it belongs to the Khun Samut community itself.

Contact the Khun Samut Chin Tourism Center.

Next to the milestone.

Prices vary depending on the size of the house.

The price is 500-600 baht per person. And importantly,

Ecotourism at Ban Khun Samut Chin

10% of the income will be used for community development.

However, we are staying in different parts of this large palace.

Feel free to come and ask any questions you may have.

Let's start with the first point.

It is said that this is a house where shrimp paste is made and oysters are shucked.

However, we arrived in the afternoon, and there was no one around.

They say that you have to come early in the morning and late at night, and then they will go fishing.

This place has an abundance of fresh mantis shrimp, perfect for making shrimp paste.

Or add it to papaya salad as a topping. It's so spicy, haha.

Shrine of the Young Man Who Floats



Sacred place, paired with the community of Ban Khun Sum Thon Chin

It has long been the spiritual center of the people of this village.

and nearby villages. Even the sailors who sailed past

One must pay respects and ask for blessings at the Khun Samut Chin Shrine.



According to legend, there was once a villager who...

They went out to fish in the middle of the sea and found...

This carved wood figure of the deity was caught in a fishing net. However, at that time…

I don't know what it is. I thought it was just a piece of wood.

The items were salvaged from a sunken ship and then discarded.

Abandoning the sea, the boat moved to fish in a new location.

Several tens of kilometers away from the original location, almost reaching...

The fort of Phra Chula, but when the new net was lowered, it returned.

I found the same carved wood, even though I threw it away many times.

Yet, the lingering scent still wafts up every time.



The fisherman finally realized that it must be something sacred.

What exactly did the fishermen find?

and built a small, roofed shrine on the bank.

To provide a place of worship and spiritual solace for the local community.

Before going to sea.



The people of Khun Samut Chin subsequently lived increasingly better lives.

The news of her beauty spread far and wide, reaching the ears of merchants from distant lands.

It is unclear who dared to sneak in and steal the sacred statue of the Lord Father.

They returned to their homes. Later, a fire broke out.

A major fire destroyed almost every house.

Miraculously, the house where the deity was kept remained intact.

Only one house remained unscathed by the fire.

When the spirit of the father is taken out of the house, the house in question...

The fire spread to the house next door, which was completely destroyed.

However, the bridge that carried the spirit of the lord was not burned.

Upon hearing the news, the villagers of Khun Samut Chin gathered together.

To invite the Lord Father to return to his throne at

The original seaside shrine



However, it took a long time to reach the current court.

The shrine has been relocated six times.

Due to the relentless erosion of the seawater.



Local Museum, Ban Khun Samut Chin Community



The Tale of the Museum's Genesis

Catastrophic Windstorm Event

November 4, 1997

The incident remains etched in the minds of the villagers of Khun Samut Chin.



From the weather report of the Thai Meteorological Department, Tropical Storm "Linda"

Originating in the South China Sea, the winds blow into the Gulf of Thailand.

And it was as violent as a typhoon.

Although the eye of the storm is not located here.

This resulted in the coastline near Ban Khun Samut Chin being affected.

Almost all structures were destroyed by the strong winds of the storm.

Roads, temples, and houses were covered in mud brought by the storm.

From the coast, the sand has completely covered everything, just overnight.

Typhoon Linda caused the coastal soil to sink by 2-3 meters.



However, the land subsidence has caused significant problems.

This marked the beginning of the discovery of crucial evidence.

Historical excavations have unearthed ceramic jars.

A Large Collection of Thai-Chinese Coins

This sentence describes a large collection of coins that are both Thai and Chinese in origin.

Appliances, lighting fixtures, and more are included.

A skeleton was also found from this old community.



As time goes by, more and more ancient artifacts are being discovered.

However, the lack of awareness of value and the lack of skills in exploration

The villagers' approach to care is unknown.

Village headman Mrs. Somr Khengsamut consulted with

The officer said that it must be collected and kept in one place.

Specifically, to serve as a repository of knowledge.

Therefore, a letter was sent to government agencies in the province.

Samut Prakan to request a budget for a land survey.

Collect all the artifacts. And

Establish a local museum in the community.

However, there was no response from the cultural conservation sector.

Of the province

Until the government has a policy to distribute the budget

Directly to every village in the potential development project

Village Community or SML

This is a simple and short translation of the phrase "ภาพ หมู่บ้านชมชน หรือ SML".

Note: I have not included the original text in my response, as per your instructions.

The villagers gathered once again.



Represented by village headman Somru.

To request a budget until the budget is finally approved.

A plot of land large enough to build a small house.

To serve as a repository for collecting and collating.

Therefore, the ancient artifacts are located in this dry area.



Earthenware, an archaeological find



We had the opportunity to meet with Ms. Somr Khengsamut, who shared her stories with us.

The aunt said that if we want to live in the house, we must take care of it.

There is no place like home.



Upon hearing the story that the aunt said, in a few decades

The village of Khun Samut Chin may not be found on maps of Thailand.

Due to the relentless erosion of seawater.

The importance of this has been largely overlooked.

The aunt recounted that, in the past, the village was actually located over there.

We need to keep moving up, as the water level is rising by more than 10 kilometers.

And if we haven't realized that

Bangkok is only 20 kilometers from the sea.

Bangkok could soon become an island floating in the sea.



"I will stand and fight for my homeland."

..Undeterred..Unwavering"



Statement of Aunt Somrueng Khengsamut (Village Headman)



1. Key Landmark

This is the kilometer marker. Everyone comes here to take pictures.

However, who would have known that Bangkok is 20 kilometers from the Gulf of Thailand?

This is an empty paragraph with only line breaks.

Rice field atmosphere

Of the house of Khun Samut Chin.

I really like this kind of atmosphere. It's like getting fresh air back. 555.

Traveling solo, I wanted to capture some cool and stylish photos. However, it took a lot of effort to get the perfect shot. Haha!



We took a shortcut and arrived at Wat Khun Samutthawat.

Or is it the Kun Samut Chin Temple?

This temple is located on the seashore.

Oh, the dust on the camera! It's everywhere! I can't seem to get rid of it. 555

The devastating effects of the major flood are still evident.



And this picture, right?

This has made the temple world-renowned.

As an example of a location severely impacted by global warming.

One of the highest in the world, the sea level is rising steadily.

The temple is now more than 1 kilometer from the coast.

A scene of Typhoon Linda making landfall.

When no government agency or even

However, Samut Prakan Province itself has stepped in to help.

Villagers must therefore take care of the land.

Property of the village and Wat Khun Samut Wara Was

With all their might and main.

To the best of one's ability



Villagers who originally owned their own land for cultivation

Therefore, they had to change their occupation from fishing.

Farmers turned to wage labor due to a lack of land.

To be used as an aquatic animal breeding pond.

Relocating homes and kitchens every five to seven years.

Due to the need for periodic house construction.



Despite the community losing their livelihood.

However, the villagers will not give up the temple grounds.

Hold back the sea from swallowing the temple.

The villagers worked together with all their might.

Invest money according to your ability.

Work together to build a stone dam.

Repurpose old, unused lampposts to create a...

The embankment in front of the temple, although it protects the land,

Although the surrounding area could not be saved, the temple was preserved.



And with the long struggle against the sea,

This temple has become known throughout Thailand.

Various agencies have begun to provide assistance.

Local communities also mobilized to plant mangrove forests.



Khun Samut Chin Temple

Previously, the areas where the dam and power lines are now located were simply ground.

The sea continues to erode the coastline.

The sun is setting. Let's head back to the guesthouse.

Evening at Wang Yai Homestay



And now it's time for our dinner, which will still feature shellfish and fish.

The stars here are just as beautiful as anywhere else. A perfect end to the day.

However, I'm not very good at photographing stars, so the pictures turned out like this. Haha.

We woke up to the sound of seagulls, right? Seagulls, right? Or maybe herons? We have no idea about this, haha.

However, when we opened the tent, we were met with this sight. It was like…

Please serve more of the fried banana rolls. They are delicious.

The third meal, breakfast, is served as follows: seafood porridge.

I woke up just in time. It was a truly magnificent sight.



If we do not yet realize that Bangkok

Just a stone's throw from the sea, we might not see it.

A beautiful and relaxing place like this is perfect.

I encourage you to explore the following topics:

Please consider both the historical and ecological aspects of this location.
