Ranong contains various natural attractions and is blessed with hot springs and unspoiled mangrove forests within its compact area. A mountainous and heavily forested province, Ranong is best known as a fishing and trading port.
Ranong town is a gateway to Myanmar, with colourful longboats ferrying produce and people across the narrow divide that separates the two countries. The traffic is even heavier these days since a casino opened at Victoria Point. The famous hot springs are just outside of town, where an arboretum and various first-class hotels cater to visitors eager to benefit from the medicinal properties of the mineral waters.
In addition, Laem Son National Park is an intriguing seascape of mangroves, cliff, beautiful beaches and uninhabited islands that offer interesting diving in Ranong.
