The province of Rayong and the island of Ko Samet in the east of Thailand are the perfect destination for beach lovers. The province has an endless number of tropical, coral islands, ideal for relaxation and water sports. Visit the fishing ports and Rayong's markets, where you can get beautiful gems, fresh tropical fruit and the traditional fish sauce, a staple of Thai cuisine. Only 6 kilometres away is the province's largest island: Ko Samet. This is a heavenly island of white fine sand beaches and tropical vegetation surrounded by colourful coral reefs. It is the perfect place for water sports such as swimming, diving, sailing, windsurfing, snorkelling and jet-skiing. You can also climb picturesque rocky caves.
The island of Ko Samet offers accommodation in comfortable hotels or charming, more private bungalows. For some nightlife go to Phai Bay, while, if you want beaches, the most popular ones are Vong Duen Beach, Nuan Bay and Sai Kaew Beach, the largest of them all.
Visit the Ban Phe Phrae National Park, the Turtle Conservation Station and, in Klaeng, the majestic Wat Saranat Thammaran temple. Climbing to the Wat Khao Sukim temple will be a challenge, but don't miss it.
Besides, you can always get to the top using the funicular railway!
