The gateway to the colony of several magnificent islands such as Koh Phayam, Koh Chang, Koh Sin Hai, Koh Khang Khao and oceanic island groups of Kam, is the first southern province on the western coast, located 568 kilometers from Bangkok. Ranong occupies an area of approximately 3,300 square kilometers with Myanmar and the Indian Ocean to the west border.

Ranong is known for the long rainy period, in Thai “Fon Paed Dad Si”, which lasts for 8 months each year.

This lends to its beautiful natural attractions, not to mention its mystical hot springs and rarely explored mangrove forests.

From Ranong, visitors may travel by speedboat only about one and a half hours to enjoy the rich nature of Surin’s underwater and rainforests.
