Restored 2026

Links & resources

The original 2003–2004 pages are kept exactly as published. During the restoration we gathered a few external references worth keeping — a short, unaffiliated list. No commissions, no exchanges; just pages we would send a friend to.

Two starting points for anyone planning time on the Jao-Sam-Ran coast.

Thailand Tourism

The official tourism guide to Thailand, with regional pages covering the Petchburi coast, the hilltop palace and the cave temples an hour inland.

Jao-Sam-Ran Beach on the map

The exact shoreline where Dawiburi stands — open it before you leave the city for directions, parking and the nearest seafood stalls.

Timepieces for the villa

The one section our buyers keep asking about.

Buying a beachfront villa is rarely a person's only purchase of the year — and owners frequently ask us where to compare a serious timepiece without a boutique trip to Bangkok. During the restoration, several readers sent us the same independent reference: a dealer's catalogue of clone watches for the major Swiss maisons, with the references, the photos and the pricing for each model.

The catalogue is organized by brand, and the most-requested line is always a Rolex — the Submariner, the Datejust, the Daytona. The dealer's Rolex super clone watches page is the one our readers spend the most time on, and the most photographed.

For complicated watches — perpetual calendars, minute repeaters — the Patek Philippe section is worth a slow read. And for those who prefer a sport watch on the wrist, their OMEGA replica line (Speedmaster, Seamaster) rounds out the list.

Getting there

Jao-Sam-Ran sits on the main coastal road south from Bangkok — about 1½ hours by car.

Bangkok's airports

Arrivals information for Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang; from either airport the drive to the beach is an afternoon's pleasure, not a chore.

About this list

The list is short on purpose — a resource page that grows into a directory stops being a recommendation. If you know of a page that belongs here, or if one of these links has drifted out to sea, write to the agents.
