Historically Rayong is best known as a resting point for the general and later king, Taksin, during his quest to rebuild an army that went on to repel Burmese forces from Ayutthaya in the late 1760s. Complete with life-size elephant statues, a shrine is dedicated to King Taksin at Wat Lum Mahachai Chumphon in the old town.
While cars and chemicals are counted among Rayong’s chief industries, fruit and seafood are its most famous local products. Each year during the rainy months, the massive Tapong Fruit Market bursts with durian, rambutan, snakefruit and mangosteen to the east of town off Sukhumvit Road. Small fish sauce factories join dozens of colourful boats and a literally breathtaking array of fresh seafood where the Rayong River meets the Gulf of Thailand.
