RANONG
A mountainous and heavily forested province, Ranong is best known as a fishing and trading port. It was settled by the Hokkien 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. | ||||
| Ranong
has one of the highest rainfalls in the country, giving rise to lush greenery and stunning waterfalls, like Punyaban Falls that cascade off a cliff on the outskirts of town. Further south, Laem Son National Park is an intriguing seascape of mangroves, cliff, beautiful beaches and uninhabited islands that offer interesting diving. |
||||
| The
large island of Chang is increasingly popular as a relaxing destination,
with quiet beaches, herb gardens and prolific fruit orchards. |
