The City Gate to Cherng TalayThe Cherng Talay Walking Tour

This walking tour is a maximum of about three to four kilometers (2-2.5 miles) from the Laguna Beach Resort (LBR) entrance road into the center of Cherng Talay and back.

There will be sidewalks inside the resort area but Cherng Talay doesn't have much in the way of sidewalks - the sidewalks in the main part of town are often covered with small vendors or motorcycles.   Some of the distance for this walk depends on how much you wish to explore.

Walk south heading away from the Resorts complex on the main Laguna street. Maybe 50 meters from the LBR entrance road turn right and follow the small winding road and soon you will be in the village.  Continue on that road - go straight past the canal - and you will pop out on the main street of the city - it will be obvious. Most of the town is to your left.

First on your left will be the village veggie market which opens as early as five in the morning and business will slow significantly by even 9am. As you continue down the street towards the traffic light (there are now two) you will also walk by a variety of local shops and (depending on the time of day) - small vendors selling food and bbq items. At the traffic light is the night market (currently Wednesdays and Sundays).

Go straight at the traffic light and you immediately run into a motorcycle taxi stand (good for a 20 baht ride back to LBR if you get too hot or tired) and will also run into a 7-11 and many small Thai restaurants and shops as you continue.  As you continue (if you want to add a kilometer or two to your walk) will be the Cherng Talay Wat - and a bit later the Farang Restaurant (excellent AND inexpensive)

OR - Turn left at that traffic light and walk down the LONG way back to LBR (maybe 2km?) - just follow the signs to Laguna. When you walk past the second traffic light you will enter an area of primarily Western food type places - but also a few Thai restaurants - even Indian food shop - and a couple of the island's upscale restaurants - many modest to upscale massage places (I recommend Thai Carnation as middle of the road - about B350 for a one-hour full-body oil massage - usually good skilled therapists). Also, many condo sales places (unfortunately) - but also many shops and mini-markets etc.

Make the walk in the early morning or evenings - to avoid the heat.
