Saphan Pla Cha-am

Saphan Pla Cha-am is a working fishing pier and seafood market located at the northern end of Cha-am Beach in Cha-am District, Phetchaburi Province, Thailand. Extending into the Gulf of Thailand, it serves as a landing point for local fishing boats and a retail market for fresh catch. Notable for its authentic fishing community atmosphere, views over the coastline, and affordable fresh seafood sold directly from boats and stalls, it offers visitors insight into coastal livelihoods.

Visitors can expect a long concrete pier extending into the Gulf of Thailand lined with moored fishing boats and small seafood stalls. The setting is an active working waterfront rather than a developed tourist beach, with views along Cha-am Beach, the sea, and the coastline. Visitors can walk the length of the pier, observe fishermen unloading and sorting catch, browse fresh seafood for sale, sample grilled or dried seafood snacks, and take photographs of boats and sea views. The area is open and exposed with limited shade.
