Bangkok itself is not a beach resort. So the beaches of Bangkok are located not in the city itself, but next to it.

Bang Saen Beach
Experienced tourists choose the best beach near Bangkok - Bang Saen. It is located in the Chonburi province overlooking the east coast of Thailand. You can get to it by express from Bangna station or by bus - from a bus station called Ekkamai. The journey will take about an hour.
Chonburi resort in Chonburi province
Chonburi is a particularly attractive beach resort and is much cleaner than tourist-favorite Pattaya. It is also a weekend beach. The water and sand are excellent here, and the service is considered excellent, while the cuisine is always at its best. And if a tourist wants to dine on the beach, he can rent not only a sunbed and an umbrella, but also a table. A set is often rented, which consists of one table and six sun loungers, and you have to fork out for each of them. However, in Thailand, as well as in other eastern countries, they like to bargain, so the price can be brought down.
On the beach, you can not only sunbathe, swim and eat well, but in addition to this, do active types of entertainment on the water: take a ride with the breeze on a "banana" or a speedboat, and if you want something calmer, then rent a huge inflatable circle.
So close to Pattaya
Almost two hours' drive from Bangkok is the famous beach resort Pattaya. Its beaches are perhaps the second in our ranking.
In the northern part of Pattaya, the most popular beaches are located near the Aisavan and Long Beach hotels. Further there is a rocky cliff, where the majestic Temple of Truth rises. Behind it is the fishing port of Naklua, near which there are also excellent beaches. All of these beaches are mostly sand, but reefs can come across when entering the sea. Since the water here is quite clear, you can see them if you look closely. Here you can rent a boat or yacht to ride to the islands or go sea fishing. Diving is also popular here.
Where to stay in Pattaya
Hua hin
And already at a distance of 200 km from Bangkok, there is the famous Hua Hin with its clean beaches. Calling it “a place near Bangkok” is difficult, but the beaches are worth taking an interest in.
Hua Hin City Beach is a wide spit about 6 km long. It is distinguished by white sand and unusually clear sea, although it is shallow here, but for those who are resting here with kids, this is undoubtedly a big plus. Sun loungers and sun loungers with umbrellas are plentiful on the beach. Local cafes with an excellent menu and the freshest juices from tropical fruits will not leave you feeling hungry or thirsty. Water sports - scooters and "bananas" are also very popular among Thais and tourists alike.
Khao Takiab Beach is located in Hua Hin directly behind Monkey Mountain. It stretches for many kilometers. Surprisingly, this beach is called the "black sand beach". It is calm here, and water activities are cheaper. Delicious authentic cuisine of local restaurants is also pleasing. There are sun loungers and umbrellas. The beach is shady and spacious, especially during low tide.
So you can visit the best sandy beaches of Bangkok if you drive away from the capital at a decent distance.
