KOH SICHANG (island near Bang Phra) - TAM PANG BEACH RESORT  (**)
If you have some spare time, there is a great small island to visit near Bang Phra. A beautiful beach with little bungalos and miles of empty virgin natural coast with a clear view to the sunset. You take the ferry from Sri Racha to Koh Sichang (island) which is about 45 minutes and 40 Baht. Then you go by "tuk-tuk" to Tam Pang Beach Resort on the West side of the island. The cost is about 450 Baht per night for a bungalo. There is a beach and a kitchen where you can order whatever food you wish. This is a very basic camping and bungalo setup on a beach, but not as nice as Koh Samet. Call to make a reservation to be sure - Tam Pang Beach Resort:
