The Property — Paradee Resort + Spa
Paradee Resort & Spa is a quiet, mid-range 3-star property on a stretch of Rayong's less-crowded eastern coast. The lobby is open-air, tiled and tropical, with the sea visible across the lawn; ceiling fans and salt air set the pace. It suits couples or solo travellers after a budget-friendly beach escape with a pool and basic spa — not a party or luxury spot.
Chronicles of Rayong
Rayong began as a fishing and trading settlement in the Ayutthaya period; King Taksin used its coast to regroup after the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767. The city grew around the Rayong River and became a provincial capital in the early Rattanakosin era. Much of the old wooden shophouses along the waterfront remain, though the coast now sees industrial zones and resort development. Contemporary Rayong blends seafood markets, small temples, and a quieter beach alternative to Pattaya. Its cultural identity remains working port and weekend beach retreat for Bangkokians.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rayong guide →Best months
December to February: cool, low humidity and blue skies; fewer storms and comfortable for beach days. Crowds are moderate as Bangkok visitors come for long weekends.
Peak / festival surge
April (Songkran) and late December (New Year) are hottest and busiest. Hotel prices double; advance booking essential. Songkran water fights run along the main road; Rayong's beaches fill with families.
Budget shoulder season
March and November offer lower rates and lighter crowds, with slightly higher heat/rain risk but still decent conditions. October to November is the end of the wet season; good value.
Weather & packing
Rayong's rainy season (May–October) brings short, heavy downpours, often in the afternoon. Pack a lightweight rain jacket or umbrella at all times, and quick-dry clothing even for July.
Live City Briefing — Rayong
- The Rayong–Pattaya ferry service has resumed after storm damage; it runs from Ban Phe pier, 30 minutes south of the hotel, to Pattaya's Bali Hai pier. Check departure days.
- Laem Mae Phim beach, a 15-minute drive, has seen new seafood restaurant openings along the main road, though the beach itself remains quiet.
- July is low season: many resort restaurants and bars reduce hours or close midweek; confirm the hotel's dining availability on arrival.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Paradee Resort + Spa, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 2 or 3 facing the pool or garden (away from the main road). These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level noise but still within easy reach of the stairs if the lift is busy.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the reception or lift lobby – foot traffic and lobby chatter can be distracting. Also steer clear of rooms facing the street (likely the front side) due to road noise from Rayong's traffic.
Best views
The best views at Paradee Resort + Spa are likely of the pool or the tropical garden – given the 3-star resort setting in Rayong, these offer a peaceful outlook. Street views are less appealing.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are typically quieter, as they sit above ground-level activity and below any roof or terrace noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Rayong is a coastal city with busy roads; street-facing rooms will pick up motorbike and truck noise, especially in the morning and evening. The lift motor can be audible on floors immediately adjacent to the shaft.
Insider tips
1. Check in early (before 2pm) to request a high-floor poolside room – these are popular and often go first. 2. If you drive, ask about free on-site parking at the front desk; some spots near the garden are shadier and cooler for your car.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Rayong, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.
Your arrival at Paradee Resort + Spa
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) → Mac Garden Hotel, Rayong
💡 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 (Bangkok) → Rayong Bus Terminal (near Mac Garden)
💡 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.
Rayong city center (e.g., bus terminal or market) → Mac Garden Hotel on Sukhumvit Road
💡 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 Rayong-Pattaya International Airport (UTP) → Mac Garden Hotel, Rayong
💡 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.
