Travel Guide: Ratchy Pool Villa 2, Chonburi

Introduction

Nestled in the quiet coastal district of Bang Sare, Sattahip, Chonburi, Ratchy Pool Villa 2 offers a relaxed, private escape from the crowded tourist hubs of Pattaya, just a 30-minute drive north. Ideal for family getaways, group trips with friends, or pet-friendly retreats, this villa blends homely comfort with tropical privacy, making it perfect for travelers looking to slow down and soak up Thailand’s east coast sunshine.

Hotel Overview

Ratchy Pool Villa 2 is a ground-level villa, meaning it’s fully accessible for travelers with limited mobility and keeps steps to a minimum. The standout amenity is the villa’s private swimming pool, surrounded by lush garden views that stretch toward distant rolling hills. Each villa features a full simple kitchen equipped with a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, washing machine, and all the kitchen tools you need to prepare home-cooked meals or grill fresh local seafood on the on-site barbecue. Inside, you’ll find air-conditioned non-smoking bedrooms, comfortable sofas, a dining area, and a flat-screen TV with Netflix and satellite channels for relaxed evenings. Other perks include free property-wide Wi-Fi, complimentary private parking that requires no advance booking, an outdoor terrace and dining area, and a fully stocked bathroom with free toiletries and a hairdryer. The property welcomes pets with advance notice (for a possible small extra fee), and multilingual staff speak Thai, English, and Dutch for smooth check-ins. A daily breakfast is also included to start your day of exploring.

Local Attractions

Three nearby attractions make this location unbeatable. First, Bang Sare Beach is just 10 minutes away by car, a quiet, undeveloped stretch of sand far quieter than Pattaya’s busy shores, perfect for long walks, fresh seafood dinners at beachside shacks, and watching sunsets over the Gulf of Thailand. Second, Nang Ram Waterfall in nearby Sattahip is a 20-minute drive inland, a scenic multi-tiered waterfall surrounded by jungle, ideal for a refreshing dip and easy hiking for all skill levels. Third, U-Tapao Rayong-Pattaya International Airport is only 15 minutes away, but for a more cultural outing, the Sattahip Naval Base Museum offers fascinating insight into Thailand’s naval history and is just 15 minutes from the villa.

Travel Tips

Book directly with the property in advance if you plan to bring your pet to confirm any extra fees and confirm availability. If you don’t have a car, book a private transfer from Pattaya or U-Tapao airport—local songthaews (shared trucks) rarely run to this residential area, so having your own vehicle is recommended to explore the coast. Stock up on groceries and fresh seafood at the local Bang Sare market 10 minutes away to make use of the villa’s kitchen and barbecue, as this cuts down on dining costs significantly. The area stays warm year-round, but visit between November and February for cooler, less humid weather perfect for lounging by your private pool.
