Laid-back Rayong offers easy access to the islands of Koh Samet, waterfalls, national parks and limestone caves.
So many of the hotels profiled on our site call bustling Bangkok or famed Phuket home and for good reason- these areas are beautiful and growing at a rapid pace. However, there are thousands of other spots in Thailand that may not receive quite as much press but are still fantastic spots for a holiday. A perfect example of this is Rayong, located on the eastern Thai coastline.
