In Bang Saen, one of the area’s most popular and highly revered temples is the Hai Dong Ma Tian Hou Shrine, located by the sea near Khao Sam Muk. The shrine is dedicated to Mazu, who is traditionally regarded as an important guardian deity protecting the sea and the safety of fishermen. Many visitors come here to pray for safety, success in their careers, and good health for their families. After experiencing the cultural and spiritual atmosphere here, you can stop by the nearby White House Beach Café & Restaurant for a relaxing break.
After finishing my prayers, I usually feel like finding somewhere to sit down, rest, and have a meal. That is when White House Beach Café & Restaurant, located not far from the shrine, becomes a very convenient choice.
White House Beach Café & Restaurant｜A White Seaside Hideaway in the Front Row
White House Beach Café & Restaurant is not a particularly large place, but its architecture is clean and simple, with pure white as the dominant color. Combined with the seaside landscape of Khao Sam Muk, the setting immediately creates a relaxed holiday mood. There is indoor seating as well as an outdoor area facing directly toward the sea. I especially recommend visiting around sunset, when you can enjoy your meal while watching the sun sink beneath the horizon. The atmosphere is romantic and laid-back.
