RAYONG
Further along the coast from Pattaya, Rayong is provinces
that combine a lush interior with a coastline of quiet beaches that are less
developed than Pattaya’s and promise a more tranquil vacation by the sea.
Complementing the mainland beaches is the offshore island of Ko Samet.
Immortalized by the classical Thai poet Sunthon Phu, who set part of his epic
Phra Aphaimani on the island, Ko Samet is indeed a picturesque island with some
excellent beaches and simple yet
comfortable bungalow style accommodation .
On the way to the beach Rayong town
presents a couple of cultural sights in Wat Pa Pradu, which enshrines a large
reclining Buddha statue and the Taksin monument at Wat Lum Mahachai Chumohon,
which commemorates the occasions when King Taksin raised an army to expel the
Burmese after the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767.
