  • Today, I explore more of Rayong City in Thailand! Today's vlog starts with a surprising twist when I pick up my rental motorcycle. Then we cruise through some of Rayong's most popular beaches, soaking in the sun, sea, and sandy vibes.
    Curious about my first impressions of Rayong? 🤔 I'm keeping it real and sharing my honest thoughts throughout the video.

    Welcome to Rayong, I have lived here for 10 years and love the place. It has everything here but not a tourist hotspot so everything is cheaper here. We have some great beaches here and of course Kohn Samet island. Hope you get to see more of Rayong.
    Enjoy.

    I arrived from Cornwall on February 1 and Ban Chang, Rayong is now home. Rayong is ok, it sprung up due to the vast oil industrial estate that many American executives played a part in developing but have now left but there is still a pretty large American expat community in and around. Enjoy Rayong Wayne!

    Wow, what a contrast to Hua hin Wayne, Rayong looked great, and that beach was so beautiful, where I walked in Hua Hin, it clearly was not maintained and many broken bottles on it meant you better be looking down when strolling. So cool you pitched in in raising whatever it was you raised mate, I'm heading off the Ho Chi Minh tomorrow.

I remember holiday at Chonburi..every Tuesday all went out to clean the beach, to the thai peoples surprise, we joined for hours cleaning. But still could not swim for 2 weeks due to all plastic, bottles, more, only wet our legs. So these beaches looked ok.

    A restaurant I used to go to has two menus English and Thai. I used to order off the English menu but my last visit I ordered from the Thai menu. I can read Thai like a small child, sometimes I like to practice. Well anyway even though I ordered in Thai they charged me frang price. I didn't know foreigners were charged a higher price. So, I complained and they changed my bill to Thai price. But now I feel uncomfortable being a customer there.
