holidayhelen Posted May 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2017 We have an overnight in Laem Chabang next March. I know a lot of people go to Bangkok and some stay overnight. We have been recommended to go Rayong? Has anyone been? Is it worth an overnight? Anything 'must see' there? We do not want to go to Pattaya but we are looking for other ideas Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamlee Posted May 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Rayong is mainly known as an industrial area. There is very little to see there and it's definitely not worth an overnight stay. If you don't want to go to Bangkok we would suggest Kanchanaburi or Ayutthaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NantahalaCruiser Posted May 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 27, 2017 You might want to check out a tour of the Nong Nooch Gardens; a large tropical botanical garden along with an elephant show and native dancing shows. It is about a 45 minute drive from Laem Chabang - just a little ways past Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bull Posted May 27, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Rayong is mainly known as an industrial area. There is very little to see there and it's definitely not worth an overnight stay. If you don't want to go to Bangkok we would suggest Kanchanaburi or Ayutthaya. Ayutthaya ties in very nicely with the summer palace at Bang-pa In. They're close to each-other, and about a 2 hour drive from Laem Chabang. JB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deec Posted May 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Is there anything closer to the port worth seeing? We have been to Bangkok recently and are looking for something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamlee Posted May 29, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Is there anything closer to the port worth seeing? We have been to Bangkok recently and are looking for something else? We agree with NantahalaCruiser's suggestion of Nong Nooch Gardens for a short trip from Laem Chabang. http://www.nongnoochtropicalgarden.com/ You can get there without having to drive through Pattaya. Near Nong Nooch you can visit Viharn Sien - a Chinese temple with many sculptures including terracotta warriors, horses and chariots from the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega1 Posted May 30, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Closer to the port is the Sanctuary of Truth, a must see teak building. Quite amazing. http://www.sanctuaryoftruth.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamlee Posted May 31, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Another idea is the Ancient City (about 90 minutes from Laem Chabang) - http://ancientcitygroup.net/ancientsiam/en/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
