Frequently asked questions
About Rayong
Rayong is a coastal province located on the eastern seaboard of Thailand, known for its beautiful beaches and vibrant marine life. The local currency is the Thai Baht (THB), which is widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and markets throughout the area. Visitors can enjoy a variety of attractions, from stunning beaches like Ao Wong Duean to the bustling local markets that offer fresh seafood and traditional Thai handicrafts. The province is also home to several islands, such as Koh Samet, which are easily accessible by boat. Rayong's rich cultural heritage is reflected in its temples and festivals, making it a unique destination for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure.
When to visit
The best time to visit Rayong is between November and February when the weather is cooler and less humid. During these months, temperatures typically range from 24°C to 30°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities and beach outings. The rainy season, which lasts from May to October, can bring heavy downpours and high humidity, potentially disrupting travel plans. However, visiting during the off-peak season can also mean fewer crowds and lower accommodation prices. Travelers should keep an eye on the weather forecast to ensure a pleasant experience.
Getting around
Getting around Rayong is relatively easy, with various transportation options available. Local songthaews, which are shared taxis, provide an affordable way to navigate the city and surrounding areas. For more convenience, renting a motorbike or car is a popular choice among tourists, allowing for greater flexibility in exploring the region. Additionally, many hotels and resorts offer shuttle services to popular attractions and beaches. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are also available for those who prefer a more direct mode of transport.
Traveller tips
When visiting Rayong, it's advisable to dress modestly when visiting temples and local markets to respect the local culture. Always carry some cash, as not all establishments accept credit cards, especially in rural areas. Be sure to try the local seafood, which is fresh and delicious, and don't miss out on the vibrant night markets. Sunscreen and insect repellent are essential for outdoor activities, especially during the warmer months. Lastly, learning a few basic Thai phrases can enhance your interactions with locals and enrich your travel experience.
