Understand

Geographically the smallest of the five regions of Thailand, Eastern Thailand contains just seven provinces.

Three provinces share borders with Cambodia, all of which have at least one international border crossing (Aranyaprathet being the busiest).

Four provinces border the Gulf of Thailand. While Pattaya is the original mass tourism destination, the islands of Ko Samet and Ko Chang are also first and foremost tourist destinations, and the beach resorts of Hua Hin and Cha-am are popular with Thais and foreigners alike. On the other hand, the islands at the eastern tip of the region in Ko Chang National Park, until recently very difficult to get to, are some of the most scenic and untouched in the country.
