It is the most famous nature spot and the largest mangrove forest in Rayong province. Whether it is the area nicknamed golden meadow or the path of wooden footbridges through the shade of the mangroves, it is a superb place for a walk!

Located in Rayong province, Koh Samet island is actually its main tourist attraction. As it is one of the closest maritime islands to Bangkok, it is also quite popular with Thais on weekends and public holidays. Its pretty beaches make it a pleasant island to stay even if it is not the most beautiful in Thailand.

Khao Laem Ya National Park

อุทยานแห่งชาติเขาแหลมหญ้า-หมู่เกาะเสม็ด

This is the Khao Laem Ya promontory part of the park I am speaking about here, with its pretty little stretch of coastline with a path of wooden walkways that runs along it and allows you to enjoy the shades of blue of the sea and shades of brown of the rocks. A pleasant walk by the sea!
