  • Jacks: Without wanting to act like a know-it-all as a guest in Thailand, I agree with Joost: it is almost a moral duty to do something about it.

Chanthaburi

The ideal time to visit Chanthaburi is from May to July when the fruit orchards are loaded with various types of tropical fruits. Several orchards offer an all-you-can-eat fruit buffet, an orchard tour with an open shuttle bus and educational activities around the durian and other distinctive fruits of Chanthaburi.

Gain new experiences as you learn about different types of durian, how to choose ripe durian and mangosteen, and how to peel salak like a pro. Save the date and grab the chance to feast on the bountiful tropical fruits and shop 'til you drop in Chanthaburi during the three-month harvest season.

Chanthaburi

In addition to more than ten fruit orchards open to tourists, Chanthaburi also houses the 'Kung Krabaen Bay Royal Development Study Centre', a conservation study center and an ecotourism attraction. Highlights include the Kung Krabaen Bay Mangrove Forest Education Center and the wooden bridge walkway, which takes visitors into the unique mangrove ecology. Along the trail, you will see mangrove bushes and trees, including the tall mangrove, river mangrove, apple mangrove, white-flowered black mangrove, and spurred mangrove. Admire the colorful male fiddler crabs displaying their huge claws and look for the wide-eyed mudskippers leaping over the muddy ground. Many marine animals view mangrove forests as their home and nursery, where they spend their early life stages. For photography enthusiasts, the Kung Kraben Bird Watching Tower is a must-see, offering breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Rayong Botanical Garden

Rayong Botanical Garden

Make your trip even more memorable by taking an interesting detour to Rayong, Chanthaburi's neighboring province, for even more fruits and nature outings. Nature lovers and explorers have all fallen in love with the 'Rayong Botanical Garden' which offers an endless list of sights and activities such as joining a boat trip to observe the sought after Samet tree also known as the paper bark tree, kayaking, cycling , or camping. You can take your dog for a relaxing walk or capture your love during a pre-wedding photo shoot against the backdrop of the beautiful greenery. The possibilities are endless.

Spanning over 1.520 acres of wetlands, Rayong Botanical Garden is home to more than 400 species of native and rare plants and trees. The 3,2-kilometer nature study route includes four islands. Two of Chamuang Island's most notable features are the Chamuang trees (garcinia cowa) and Pah Pru, or peat swamp forest. Taew Lek Island welcomes all guests with its famous Samet tree. Ko K Island is rich in carnivorous plants, herbs and rattan forests. Mai Nam Island is known as Ko Narok (Hell Island) because of its abundance of thorn bushes and trees.

Rayong Botanical Garden

You can visit the Rayong Botanical Garden for a whole day, and staying overnight is also possible. Take both the land route and the water route if you have time for a unique experience in contrasting environments.

Eastern Thailand has a lot to offer, from delicious fruits to lush forests. A city break to Chanthaburi and Rayong doubles the fun as you can satisfy your adventurous spirit, while fulfilling your craving for seasonal tropical fruits.

PS: Be a responsible traveler! Avoid using disposable plastic and bring a reusable water bottle. Limit your waste, prevent litter and respect the environment and the destination you are visiting.
