Laem Charoen Beach, Rayong

Laem Charoen is another of the beaches of Mueang Rayong, characterised by rocky beach breaks, rows of tropical pine trees and sharp sand.

The beach was busy on the day we visted, so we had to look around for a place to take photos, but we managed to find a quieter spot. The best part was sitting in the shade afterwards while drinking iced coffee and a soda.

Beach Yoga at Mae Rumphueng

Mae Ramphueng is one of the beaches that runs alongside Mueang Rayong. On the morning we visited the weather was brewing for a storm which hit just as we were leaving.

The beach was not looking its best as it was the day after Songkran and the usual beach cleaning hadn’t taken place. The garbage on the beach wasn’t from beach-goers, but from the many fishing boats and fuel tankers that sail along the coast. It took a while for us to find a mostly clean spot, but we managed it. A real shame as it’s usually a lovely beach. Sometimes we don’t deserve the world we’re given.
