Rayong is considered to be the rainiest province in Thailand. There is even such a slogan: 84 – 8 months of rain, 4 months of sun. There are plenty of attractions in Rayong , but they are all very Thai and natural. But that does not mean that you can not visit and does not mean that you will also not enjoy how amazing this city actually is.

Bald Mountains

Known among the locals as Phu Khao Ya, the bald hills resemble a piece of pasture somewhere in Switzerland or New Zealand. Small hills are covered with grass without any trees. From above, there is a picturesque view of the countryside of Rayong and the Ngao Falls, located in the national park of the same name.

Viewpoint on Mount Fa Chi (Khao Fa Chi)

At 35 kilometres from the centre of Rayong , Mount Fa Chi is located, from the top of which there are picturesque views of the Kraburi River with islands and neighbouring Myanmar. During World War II, Japanese soldiers used the area as their port, and even a sunken cargo ship remained here, which can now only be seen at low tide. The observation deck, where a narrow one-lane road leads, is 259 meters above sea level.

In the morning before dawn, the river valley is covered with fog so that a thick veil can be seen from the top of Mount Fa Chi. The sunsets from the observation deck are especially beautiful.
