Air Quality Rayong

[needforspeed]

We want to rent a house for 2 weeks in Rayong district, some people told me that air quality is very poor in that area "close to ferry port to islands"

any advice is more than welcome.

Cheers

I heard the reason is due to many chemical plants there

I have no idea, but how i am going to find that out, are there any people who live there and know the situation by first hand.

I don't think breathing the air is going to kill you in 2 weeks but why not look at Ban Chang or Satahip which are upwind of the industrial areas.

The beach and sea at Satahip is very nice.

I live in Rayong province, about 35km from city. No complaints about the air quality, winds or weather. Many beaches are very good. Koh Samed and Koh Chang within easy reach, apart from many smaller islands. Nice and quiet. Don't take anybody's words for granted. Come and check out, you actually might like it. If not,- no big drama.

Ban Chang is also good too, plenty of good places to eat on the beach, during the week the beaches are empty

Hotels are reasonable, a couple on the beach and a couple in town

Its 30 mins from Rayong if you really need to go there

Quite a few expats live and work in the area
