Rayong ระยอง is the main town as well as capital of Rayong Province on the east coast of Thailand. It is about 179 kilometers from Bangkok. Rayong is a seaside resort, but as it is farther away compared to Pattaya, it receives fewer visitors. As such, its beaches are transquil and prefect for those seeking some solitude.

Travel to Rayong

You can get to Rayong by bus from Bangkok. There are buses from the Eastern Bus Terminal at Ekkamai in Bangkok. The journey takes about 3 hours.

There are also flights (not necessary for most tourists, in my opinion) from Bangkok to the U-Tapao Pattaya International Airport, provided by Orient Thai Airlines. From here, you can get to Rayong by taxi. Personally, I find it rather time consuming to fly and then take a taxi.

Travel within Rayong

The town itself can be explored on foot. For greater distances, hail one of the songtheaws (passenger pickup trucks).

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
