Rayong, Administrative province in Eastern Thailand.

The province spans 3,552 square kilometers along the Gulf of Thailand, featuring over 100 kilometers of coastline with white sand beaches and tropical islands.

During the Ayutthaya period, General Phaya Tak established a naval base in Rayong before becoming King Taksin of the Thonburi Kingdom.

The province contains traditional fishing communities where residents maintain their customs, particularly in Ban Kon Ao village, located 22 kilometers from Rayong city.

The province includes eight districts with Map Ta Phut industrial zone generating substantial employment through its 150 factories and naval port facilities.

The name Rayong derives from the Chong language, referring to the Pterocarpus macrocarpus tree that grows extensively throughout the region.
