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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
