5 Things to do in Rayong
I’ve been ever so busy with going away on my long weekends, ComicCon, midterms and having family visit. But I don’t really have too much to say that you can’t already see on Facebook so… instead I’m going to give you the top 5 things to do/see in Rayong. It’s not a tourist city but there are a few local things to do.
- Take a casual stroll through the night market, located beside the massive Tesco Lotus. The market has clothes, remote controls and lots of delicious but strange looking foods.
- Have lunch or dinner on the beach. Sitting on a mat with a little table you can feel the breeze, paddle in the water and sit amongst the local Thai people and enjoy a good old soda water.
- There is a sweet Vietnamese restaurant that doesn’t sell dog like I’ve heard they do when in Vietnam. My favourite dish is a called ‘Naem neung’ which is beef, rice paper and tamarind sauce.
- You can’t go anywhere without seeing a temple and in Rayong the temple Wat Pa Pradu also has a beautiful reclining Buddha. If you want to do as the Thai’s do, you have to slip a donation in the box and do the candle, incense sticks and gold paper rotation.
- In the old part there is a place called ‘Rayong Coffee’ on Yom Jinda Road. This hidden gem is a beautiful old wooden Thai house with a good selection of traditional Thai teas, coffees and milk flavours. This street is one of the few remaining in Rayong that still show the old style Thailand.
