Ranong is the first southern province on the western coast, located 568 kilometres from Bangkok.
It is known for the long rainy period, which lasts for 8 months each year. Ranong occupies an
area of 3,298 square kilometres and is bordered by Myanmar and the Indian Ocean to the west.
Within its compact area, Ranong contains various natural attractions and is
blessed with hot springs and unspoiled mangrove forests.
A mountainous and heavily forested province, Ranong is best known as a fishing and trading port. It was settled by the Hokkian Chinese, and their strong influence is evident in the town. Ranong town is a gateway to Myanmar, with colourful longboats ferrying produce and people across the narrow divide that separates the two countries. The traffic is even heavier these days since a casino opened at Victoria Point. The famous hot springs are just outside of town, where an arboretum and various first-class hotels cater to visitors eager to benefit from the medicinal properties of the mineral waters.
