Rayong Province

A coastal and fruit-growing area in eastern Thailand, known for the beaches of Ko Samet, with surrounding orchards rich in durian and mangosteen.

Rayong Province lies on the Gulf of Thailand coast in eastern Thailand, next to Chon Buri Province, with several beaches along its coastline. Offshore, Ko Samet is part of a national park, with white sand and relatively close to Bangkok, making it a popular weekend island; boats to the island leave from Ban Phe Pier. Inland orchards produce abundant durian, mangosteen and rambutan from April to June each year, and you can join fruit-picking tours. The province is also home to an important industrial zone in the east. Sea conditions are better from November to April. It takes about 2.5 to 3 hours to get here from Bangkok by road, and U-Tapao Airport is fairly close.
