On the east cost of Thailand, 179 kilometers
from Bangkok, modest beaches dotted around
Rayong province are tranquil paradises for
sea lovers who wish for hideaway places
near to the capital. Months of monsoon allow
lush forest as well as fruit orchards to
cool down from the heat of the day, and
give produce during May of each year. So
fruit lovers always travel here for various
tasty fresh tropical fruits, particularly
durian, rambutan and mangosteen, After the
end of the monsoon season in late October,
the crystal clear water of Rayog along its
hundred kilometer-long coast embraces to
welcome all visitors.
