Elephant Gate
After relaxing on the beach, go see the Elephant Gate, a striking landmark featuring two giant elephant statues.

Evening:

Laem Sor Pagoda and Wat Khao Chedi
Proceed to Laem Sor Pagoda, an important and beautiful religious site set on the seafront. Its golden hue at sunset is particularly impressive. Afterwards, visit Wat Khao Chedi, a white Buddhist stupa located on a hill with stunning views of the coastline and neighboring islands.
