Cronache di Rayong

Rayong, a province in eastern Thailand, has a rich history dating back to the Ayutthaya period (1350-1767). The city's strategic location made it an important trading post, with the Portuguese establishing a settlement here in the 16th century. Over time, Rayong's architecture evolved to reflect its cultural heritage, with a mix of traditional Thai and colonial influences. Today, the city is known for its vibrant night markets, seafood restaurants and stunning beaches. Visitors can still explore the remains of the 13th-century Khao Chamao National Park, which offers hiking trails and scenic views.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Marco Polo, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on a higher floor (4th or above) to minimize potential street noise from the main road. Given the hotel's 3-star rating and location in Rayong, a city known for its industrial and commercial activities, rooms on lower floors may be more prone to noise pollution. Additionally, as the hotel has a lift, floors below the 4th floor may experience more foot traffic and elevator noise.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Rooms near the service entrance or lift may be noisier due to staff activity and guest traffic. If you're a light sleeper, it's best to avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st-3rd) to minimize the impact of street noise and potential elevator noise.

🪟

Best views

As the hotel's address is in Rayong, you can expect rooms on the eastern side to have a view of the city skyline, while rooms on the western side may have a view of the surrounding buildings or industrial areas.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 4-6 are likely the quietest, given their higher elevation and distance from the main road and service entrance.

🔊 Noise notes

Be aware that Rayong is a city with industrial and commercial activities, which may generate some background noise. Additionally, the hotel's location on a main road may contribute to some traffic noise.

Insider tips

Request a room with a balcony to make the most of the city views and enjoy some fresh air. Consider requesting a room near the rear of the hotel to minimize potential noise from the main road and service entrance.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Girare intorno

🚕
Suvarnabhumi Airport to Mac Garden Taxi 1200 THB

Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) → Mac Garden Hotel, Rayong

150 min · On demand · 24 hours

💡 Go to the official taxi stand at the airport (gate 4 or 7 on level 1) to avoid touts. Meter plus 50 baht surcharge is standard; the fixed price quoted at the counter is often higher but hassle-free. Ask the driver to use Highway 7 — it's faster than the coastal road.

🚌
Ekkamai Bus Terminal to Rayong 180 THB

Ekkamai Bus Terminal (Bangkok) → Rayong Bus Terminal (near Mac Garden)

180 min · Every 30-60 minutes · 04:00 - 22:00

💡 Catch a government bus (blue and white) from Ekkamai — they're reliable and air-conditioned. Get off at the Rayong bus terminal, then take a songthaew or motorbike taxi (50 THB) to Mac Garden on Sukhumvit Road. Avoid the private vans that hang around the terminal; they overcharge.

🚌
Local Songthaew (Shared Pickup) 20 THB

Rayong city center (e.g., bus terminal or market) → Mac Garden Hotel on Sukhumvit Road

20 min · Every 10-15 minutes · 05:00 - 20:00

💡 Songthaews in Rayong run set routes with coloured signs — the blue ones go along Sukhumvit Road. Flag one down, tell the driver your stop (or show the hotel name in Thai), and pay the flat fare when you get off. They're slow and can be hot, but they're dirt cheap and locals use them.

🚕
U-Tapao Airport to Mac Garden Taxi 600 THB

U-Tapao Rayong-Pattaya International Airport (UTP) → Mac Garden Hotel, Rayong

45 min · On demand · Flight-dependent; taxi stand open 06:00 - 22:00

💡 U-Tapao is smaller than BKK but closer. Taxis queue outside arrivals; fix the price before getting in. Morning flights are cheaper as fewer people head to Rayong. Check if your hotel offers pickup — some do for an extra fee.
