Located approximately
220 kilometers from Bangkok is another delightful resort on Thailand’s eastern
coast - Rayong province. A late bloomer, the province is well known for its
pristine beaches stretching along a 100-kilometer coastline and scenic
waterfalls amidst exotic surroundings. Aside from this, Rayong is blessed with
an abundance of seafood products such as shrimp paste, fish sauce and dried
seafood, and tropical fruits of which rambutan, mangosteen and durian are the
most famous.
Covering a total area of 3,552 square kilometers, Rayong borders Chonburi
Province on the north and the west, the Gulf of Thailand on the south, and
Chantaburi Province on the east. Most of the land is marked by a series of
mountains interspersed by flat plains and large tracts of forest and fruit
plantations. Administratively, the province is divided into Mueang Rayong,
Klaeng, Ban Khai, Bang Chang, Pluak Daeng and Wang Chan districts and Khao
Chamao and Nikhom Phatthana Sub-districts.
Boasting indispensable sea-life resources, Rayong is one of the country’s major
agricultural and industrial provinces. On the other hand, the province has
maintained its traditions and customs in the daily lifestyle of the locals. The
best months to visit Rayong are from November to February.
