While exploring the city's food, culture and history warrants at least a day or two, the surrounding province also boasts some magnificent waterfalls and national parks that require an extra one or two days. If there's more time to spare, the coastal beach towns of Laem Singh and Chao Lao lack the white sands and circulean blue waters but they do offer a low-key seaside vibe and are worth a day trip, if not an overnight. A cruise around the coast's many inlets, peninsulas, bays, fishing villages, secluded beaches and rocky viewpoints is a must for those who enjoy a scenic drive or motorbike ride.
