Chronicles of Rayong
Rayong began as a small fishing village and became a major port city in the 14th century under the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Its modernisation accelerated in the 1960s with the rise of industrial estates and tourism along nearby beaches like Mae Ramphueng. Today the city centre is a mix of shophouses, new condos and modest temples, while the province remains a key producer of rubber, pineapple and seafood.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to TN Place, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor, facing the courtyard (rear of the building). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still within the single lift's range, and the rear aspect reduces road noise from Sukhumvit Road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 2nd floor (street side) directly above the restaurant or lobby – noise from breakfast setup and guest traffic until late. Also skip rooms on the 5th floor if possible, as the lift motor room is likely on the roof and can hum at night.
Best views
Rooms at the rear of the building overlook the courtyard or car park, with possible glimpsed cityscape. No sea views – Rayong town centre is inland; the beach is a 15-minute drive south.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors are the quietest – away from ground-floor bustle but below any roof-level equipment.
🔊 Noise notes
Sukhumvit Road carries constant traffic (cars, motorbikes, lorries) from early morning until late. The single lift has a mechanical rumble audible in adjacent rooms. The ground-floor restaurant generates noise from 6am breakfast and evening dinner service through 10pm.
Insider tips
Park for free in the hotel's own car park – the public lot 2 blocks away is pricier. Check in after 2pm to avoid lobby queue; if you arrive early, the restaurant does decent iced coffee for 40 THB.
- 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

🚐 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.
