rayong province

Rayong province (Thai spelling ระยอง) is a province (changwat) of Thailand. Neighboring provinces are (from west clockwise) Chonburi and Chanthaburi. To the south is the Gulf of Thailand.

History

It is still remembered by the local people that King Taksin (of Thailand) came to Rayong after the fall of Ayutthaya. During a short stay in Rayong he built a navy, and then went on to Chantaburi to collect his arms to fight back the Burmese. In the city of Rayong is a shrine at which local people pay respects to Taksin.

Geography

The north of the province is covered by hilly landscape, but most part is low coastal plains. Several islands in the Gulf of Thailand belong to the province, including the two very touristic Ko Samet and Ko Mun.
