Short answer: Chonburi has several easy beaches near Bangkok (Pattaya has its own pages). For a Thai family beach choose Bang Saen, a long, budget-friendly stretch; for a town with seafood and a Japanese community choose Si Racha; for a quiet island cross to Ko Sichang, with its palace, temples and calm pace.
