Ranong province, Administrative province on the Andaman coast in Thailand.
The mountainous territory stretches along the western coast of Thailand, covering an area with dense forests, hot springs, and numerous fishing communities.
The province gained its status in 1877 under King Chulalongkorn's reign, transforming from a tin mining region to an established administrative division.
The provincial population combines Thai and Burmese influences in their daily customs, festivals, and local food preparation methods across five districts.
Visitors reach the province through Ranong Airport or Phet Kasem Road, with ferries connecting the mainland to nearby islands like Koh Phayam.
Ranong receives rainfall during eight months of the year, making it the wettest province in Thailand with annual precipitation exceeding 4,500 millimeters.
