Ranong
Ranong, about 450 km (280 mi.) (as the crow flies) south-west of Bangkok, is, if approached from the north, the first Thai town on the Indian Ocean. The town owes its charm to its houses, Chinese-style with Portuguese influence, the nearby mountainous jungle, an interesting island world and its proximity to Myanmar (Burma). On the other side of the inlet, Victoria Point, the most southerly point of the Burmese mainland, can be seen.
By car: from Bangkok Highway 4 (570 km (354 mi.)). From Surat Thani Highway 401 to Takua Pa, then Highway 4.
By bus: from Surat Thani several times daily.
By rail: nearest station Chumphon (120 km (75 mi.)).
By air: nearest airport at Surat Thani.
