Rayong is located near the Burmese border, on the West Coast of Thailand.
The Andaman Sea starts right here and goes all the way to India, offering one of the most beautiful displays of islands in South East Asia.
The town connects to the North with Bangkok (about 600 km), to the East with Chumpon and Surat Thani, to the South with Phuket, a mere 3 hours by bus. Agriculture and fishing are the main activities of the province.
To the rear the mountains are covered with jungle and many waterfalls, hot springs and lovely paths to wander around.
The coastal waters are fringed by mangrove swamps alive with wild life, ideal for a kayak trip.
You'll find Ranong has a typically local atmosphere, happily mixed with the Burmese influence: colourful markets, women in sarongs, with golden make-up on their cheeks and food stalls all along the streets.
The local inhabitants busily go about their lives doing their own thing, and encounters with other tourists are rare.
There are good hotels and restaurants, banks, fitness and massages clubs, golf, casino, and Internet service.
Visas can easily be renewed within a day, simply crossing the border by boat from Rayong
