About Rayong
Rayong, a province of roughly 740,000 people on Thailand's eastern seaboard, offers YouTube creators a compelling blend of island escapism and authentic Thai coastal culture, all within a 2.5 to 3-hour drive of Bangkok (180 kilometers via Motorway 7). This accessibility makes it an exceptionally practical destination for Bangkok-based creators who want to produce beach and island content without the expense of flying to southern islands.
Koh Samet is the star attraction and Thailand's closest island paradise to the capital. Ferries depart from Ban Phe pier every 30 minutes for 200 Baht round trip (40 minutes), with speedboats available at 600 Baht (15 minutes). National park entry costs 200 Baht for foreigners. The compact 13-square-kilometer island features over a dozen beaches, each with its own character. Haad Sai Kaew, the longest at 1 kilometer, draws the biggest crowds with water sports (jet ski 1,500 Baht per 30 minutes), beach bars, and fire shows nightly from 8 PM. Ao Wong Duan offers a family-friendly crescent bay with snorkeling equipment rental at 200 Baht. Ao Phrao on the quieter western shore has just two upscale resorts and delivers premium sunset content. Budget bungalows on the island start at 500 Baht per night, mid-range at 1,500 Baht, and luxury at 5,000 Baht.
The mainland side of Rayong presents content opportunities that most travel vloggers completely miss. Mae Ramphueng Beach stretches over 12 uninterrupted kilometers and is predominantly visited by Thai families on weekends, offering a window into local culture. Khao Laem Ya National Park (200 Baht entry) protects a stretch of rocky coastline with healthy coral reefs accessible for snorkeling directly from shore at Koh Kudi and Koh Mun Klang islands. The Rayong Aquarium (Science Center for Marine and Coastal Resources) provides free entry and houses 45 tanks of Gulf of Thailand marine life.
