Hat Chao Samran (Ҵҭ) This historic beach is 15 kms. southeast of the town. Legend says that King Naresuan the Great and King Eka Thotsarot made several royal visits here and highly appreciated its beauty. The villagers thus rendered it a name "Hat Chao Samran", which means "Beach of Royal Leisure". King Rama IV ordered a seaside palace built at this beach in 1918 and called it "Hat Chao Samran Palace".
