Chonburi ชลบุรี is a town as well as provincial capital of Chonburi Province, on the eastern seaboard of Thailand. It faces the Gulf of Thailand to the west. Chonburi is a heavily industrialized province with a population exceeding million people. Its proximity to Bangkok places it at an advantageous position to benefit from spillover.

Despite being the provincial capital, Chonburi is not the biggest city in the province. That honor goes to Pattaya, a coastal resort city that has grown rapidly since the mid 20th century. Pattaya has become so well-known that many of the sights which are in fact in Chonburi are labelled as being in Pattaya.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
