Things to do in Sri Racha

  1. A

    Moom Aroy

    Moom Aroy delivers on its name, meaning 'delicious corner'. This is the place to enjoy a Si Racha seafood meal with views of the pier and squid rigs. It is north of town; turn left at Samitivet Sriracha Hospital and look for the tank with the 2m fish out front.

    Lahp Ubon

    An Isan place with yummy nám đòk mŏo (spicy pork salad). The menu doesn’t offer English (and neither does the sign out front), but thankfully it has pictures so just point to whatever looks good.

    Ko Loi Seafood Stalls

    Perched on the Ko Loi jetty, these humble spots specialise in fresh seafood. There is no English menu but it's all good.

  10. Ko Loi

    This small rocky island is connected to the mainland by a long jetty at the northern end of Si Racha's waterfront and lauded as a local highlight. It has a festival atmosphere centred around a Thai-Chinese temple, decorated by a couple of giant ponds with turtles of every size, from tiny hatchlings to seen-it-all-before seniors. This is also where you can catch the boat to offshore Ko Si Chang.

    Health Park

    The town's waterfront Health Park is possibly one of the best-maintained municipal parks in the country. There are sea breezes, a playground, shady coffee shop with wi-fi, a jogging track and a lot of evening activity.

  13. Bang Saen

    Do as the Thais do and judge your beach by its seafood restaurants. This beach resort, 18km north of town, isn't good for swimming but weekending Bangkokians and local university students love it for its food and views. You'll need private transport to reach it.

    The popular Sriracha Tiger Zoo sits about 9km southeast of the city centre. The main attraction is the compound of 250 tigers that are involved with the zoo's remarkable breeding program. Visitors can get up close and personal with the babies.
