3-star hotels in Rayong
A shortlist of 15 3-star hotels in Rayong, from beach resorts on Ko Samet and the mainland coast to city hotels near the markets and port. It suits couples, families and business travellers who want a comfortable base without paying for a five-star stay.
Staying in Rayong
Rayong began as a fishing and trading town and remains an important port for the region's agriculture and industry, producing a large share of Thailand's durian, mangosteen and rambutan. Visitors come for the beaches, the seafood and the relaxed feel of the mainland coast and its islands. The city itself has markets and temples, the coastal areas and islands have resorts and quieter spots, and the province is a good glimpse of eastern Thailand beyond the main tourist trail.
The hotels here sit in three main areas. Koh Samet addresses such as Baan Ploy Sea, Samed Villa Resort and Ao Cho Grandview Hideaway Resort put guests on the island's beaches; Ban Phe and Phe addresses such as Tubtim Resort and Vongdeuan Resort suit early ferry departures to Ko Samet; and Rayong city addresses along Ratbumrung, Rajbamrung, Sukhumvit and Bangna Trad roads serve business travellers and anyone exploring the mainland. Couples tend to head for the island resorts, families for the ones with kids pools and family rooms, and business travellers for the city hotels with meeting rooms and round-the-clock front desks.
