Local Tips
Renting a bicycle or scooter is the best way to explore the town and surrounding beaches. While English is understood in main tourist areas, a few Thai phrases or Google Translate will go a long way.

Dress modestly when visiting temples, remove shoes before entering homes and religious sites. Tipping is not obligatory but appreciated (10% for good service).
Safety Warnings
The town is generally very safe; take usual precautions with valuables and beware of monkeys at Wat Thammikaram who may snatch loose items. Be cautious around the edge of military areas, which are clearly marked.
Hidden Gems
Take a sunset walk along Saranwithi Bridge, or hike up Khao Lom Muak (when open) for panoramic bay views. Locally run coffee shops and handmade ice cream stalls near Klong Wan offer authentic flavors rarely found in tourist hubs.
