You're joking, right? I've live in Rayong, and Had Mae Rampueng is nothing to crow about. Just another filthy Thai beach that's too close to Rayong's infamous industrial estates. It's an OK beach to sit by, but it is an undesirable swimming location. Trash strewn sand, and oily polluted waters.
The next big thing is Lae Mae Phim, which is 20K down the road, where 5-Star Marriot resort/condo development is being built. They had an open house sales event recently - the first weekend of sales brought in over 300 million baht of condo sales. Yeah, I guess nobody knows about Rayong, LOL.
Here's another development. Beachfront for only 50 MILLION Baht.
