History and Meaning of Bai Chay Name
In the past, this was a coastal sandy area. Fishermen maintained wooden boats by burning fire to singe the boats (the bottom and sides of the boats often had barnacles that could damage the boat, so fishermen burned casuarina leaves around them), and the fire and smoke all year round led to the name Bai Chay.
