The old part of Ban Phe near the old fishing port and the boats to Ko Samet can be wonderful. Regular markets as well as several bars and restaurants make the stay more pleasant. A visit to the newly renovated aquarium is an absolute must.
Thanks to the good boat connection, a day trip to Koh Samet is easy. You can spend the day relaxing, snorkelling, or just enjoying the white sand beach. If desired, this can be done safely, quickly and in comfort by speedboat.
Ban Phe is near the easily accessible provincial capital of Rayong. Although some people find it unattractive, it is a typical Thai town with an old section that is worth a visit. In Rayong, there are discos, bars and restaurants. McDonald's and KFC are located in the "Laemthong" shopping mall.

Thai festival occasions for lots of good eating and fun.Throughout the year "Suphattra Land" is opened. A beautiful fruit garden paradise. where you not only can see the tropical fruits grow but also may taste. http://www.suphattraland.com

Thailand has an extensive and convenient network of buses. Tourists who can managae a vehicle can rent a car or motorcycle. The roads are generally good. A comfortable alternative is the train. It is slower than by road, but beautiful scenery is virtually guaranteed.
