Beachviews and Seafood at the Rayong Marriott

This would be our fifth visit to Rayong, although before now, we have always failed to see further than the pier at Ban Phe. There has always been a slight disadvantage for mainland beaches in Rayong, where they often go overlooked, in favour of the nearby island of Koh Samet. But I do feel this works more to their advantage as the coastlines here remain quiet, serene and unspoiled, compared to the well known tourist hubs along the same coastline. Instead of the discomfort and nuisances of crowded beaches and all night beach bars, we instead find soft sand beaches, a laid-back seaside vibe and unmatched ocean views. Our stay is at the Rayong Marriott Resort and Spa and, while I am normally antsy to explore new areas on arrival, I instead spend the first day lazing at the window and staring at the ocean views. The scene is serene and somewhat hypnotic as the sea shifts slowly from the right, to the left of the screen. I watch from the comfort of bed, then do the same from the bath tub, until I turn wrinkly. Sea views are far more enjoyable when watching them from comfort.

Secluded Beachfront

When we do pull ourselves from the guestroom, it is to enjoy the beachfront views, where the resort’s infinity pool spills almost seamlessly into the sea’s horizon. It’s a perfect beach scene here, without the overdevelopment and ugly tourism found in better known tourist spots. Out of curiosity I do ask who the main competitors are in the area, as there are next to no luxury hotels in Rayong. They tell me it is Pattaya. I know they are both within driving distance of Bangkok, but I would infinitely travel the extra hour, or more, to Rayong. I’ve passed through Pattaya too many times, and I can only remember stretches of sunbeds, and parasols next to sun burnt bellies, and jet-skis. Here it is the opposite. The beach is empty, lonely, and stepping down to the white sand beach, we find only a handful of revelers along the entire stretch of coastline.

Seafood at the Fish Bar

So when I do hear of Rayong it’s almost always regarding their seafood e.g. “Rayong has the best seafood in Thailand”. I have no idea how to compare, but there was no way I was travelling to Rayong, without at least trying it. For the first evening we call in to the resort’s Fish Bar which, quite possibly, has the best quality seafood in the region. We order the Rayong Grilled Seafood Platter and, while seafood isn’t my forte (I like steak), I find Fanfan is obsessed with it. She eats non-stop, tearing apart some of the biggest tiger prawns I’ve ever seen, and cracks at every last bit of blue crab (which ironically are orange when cooked). I do try it all, and can understand her obsession. With it we indulge in a whimsical choice of chocolate martini, and a vodka and mint cocktail. The Fish Bar overlooks the beachfront and ocean which is quiet after sunset. On the horizon there is a surreal green glow from the squid fishing boats which shows the freshness of the local seafood here. We can also see the flashing lights on Koh Samet’s beaches, and are very happy not to be there. We sleep well that night.

I Don’t Normally Write About Breakfasts

I don’t normally write about breakfasts, but at the Rayong Marriott, I felt it was worth mentioning. For breakfasts it’s become norm for me to find foods I’ve not eaten in a while, and then make the most of them. After almost 5 years travelling in Asia, however, it is rare to come across anything I’ve not yet found. Today was an exception where I find an entire range of unexpected treats like a whole baked ham with sides of wholegrain mustard, or the cured prosciutto ham. Add in the quiche, brie, silverskin pickled onions… it’s been ages since I’ve eaten pickled onions. So I had spent the previous two weeks in Northeast Thailand with the harvest, and I may have overdone it here on these western comforts. A waiter circles with freshly baked croissants, filled with ham and cheese, and, while I didn’t take one myself, I was continually told by Fanfan how good they were. Also her repeat visits to the juice bar.

Fitness and (Lazy) Recreation

During our stay there is a list of inclusive recreational activities throughout the day with things like yoga, aqua aerobics and lots going on in the fitness centre. On our visit we were probably better suited to the children’s activities, such as ‘Pizza Class’ or ‘Batik Painting’. There’s guaranteed to be something for everyone on the resort and, for those wanting a relaxed, lazy time, there are less strenuous activities found around the resort. The swimming pool has a mini aquarium next to it so you don’t even need to go snorkeling to see fish. There’s also a free shuttle buggy service to nip you around, although everywhere is easy to reach by foot. We do circle the resort, only before disappearing into Quan Spa for an hour of pampering with their signature Ocean Breeze massage. Another new for me with a combination of Thai, Balinese, and Hawaiian massage techniques. We also make up for our laziness by hitting a few holes at the putting greens outside, although I can’t say this was overly strenuous.

Rayong Wetlands

By now I was feeling a slight guilt for passing on these opportunities so I decide to join one of the evening bike rides. Being the only person on the day, I get to choose the route, and I go with the Rayong Wetlands which do sound fun. But, before taking off, the instructor asks if I am adventurous, and to not look like a sissy, I say yes. I’m not really. Recently there had been heavy rainfalls and the wetlands are flooded in parts which means get slightly wet and muddy. We go rattling over wooden bridges, ducking under tunnels of trees, and through some of the most beautiful and wild wetlands I’ve ever seen before. Adventure is always more fun when you’re not ready for it. Along the way I would stop the guide at every corner, to photograph the birds up ahead (although most take flight before I get the camera ready). For birders it is a fascinating place and even at the entrance to the Wetlands there are birds of all colours perched on the overhead cables which connect nearby villages. Kingfishers, storks, bee-eaters, a greater racket-tailed drongo… The guide suggests a quick visit to a nearby temple with monkeys, but I am now rushing for wine and ocean views with sunset from our room.

The C Salt Restaurant

On the cycle back through the front car park I pass a Lamborghini parked between a Porsche and Ferrari. The resort and restaurants look to be the go-to place in Rayong for well-heeled local folk and weekend drivers passing through. Yet the all-you-can eat seafood buffet is under 1,000 Baht per person ($30US). The seafood buffet here is unlike any I’ve seen before. Fanfan again starts, cracking away at blue crabs, but is quickly back and to the table, with dishes from all over the world. Stone-baked seafood pizza, Indian fish curry, lots of sushi. Every seafood dish I could think of. I regrettably skip on this all-you-can-eat buffet, because I often take “all-you-can-eat” literally as a challenge. I also called the ‘At Your Service’ concierge earlier in the day for indigestion tablets, and I wasn’t going to risk it again. “What if they have ham again for breakfast?” So I explore the a la carte menu instead which has more than enough to keep me excited. Steak frites tenderloin please.

Shimbashi: The Salaryman Enclave of Tokyo

During our time travelling on a JR Pass in Japan we based ourselves a number of times in different parts of Tokyo. The usual protocol here was to find a station on the JR line, which is also close enough to the main Tokyo’s travel hubs, then search for cheap hotels. I can say, of all these bases, that the Shimbashi Station Area of Tokyo, was by far the most interesting. It’s an area I’d never actually heard of, and one I didn’t expect much of before arriving, but it is now the area we’d go back to for our next visit. Not only is Shimbashi handy for the JR lines, for onward JR Pass travel, but it’s also conveniently located on the Yamanote circle line (JR) which gives easy access to Tokyo’s popular stops. But what I liked most about Shimbashi is that it’s not really a tourist area, where, instead it’s salaryman territory meaning cheap accommodation (Shimbashi Station hotels here) and plenty of food and entertainment. First arriving we passed beneath the elevated railway lines to find all sort of izakayas, yakitori grills and ramen restaurants, and of course, being well known salaryman territory, theirs also a mix of pink parlors, adult entertainment, cheap booze and a lively local night scene. It’s definitely more rustic and gritty than the previous, clean cut areas of Tokyo which we’d stayed in to date.

Exploring Shimbashi

We barely scratch the surface during our two days in Shimbashi (between travel), but we did visit, and revisit the main stretch beneath the tracks. There’s enough going on there to keep you busy on a short stay. The first night, we pull up a stool in one of the street’s many ramen bars to be served sumo sized ramen bowls, which made our sides of beer and gyoza look tiny in comparison. The food in Shimbashi is cheap, so the size was completely unexpected. Then, as I pick away at my giant pork slabs, the sounds of celebration pass through the alley next to us. Intrigued, I am quick out to explore, although the salarymen surrounding me barely bat an eyelid. It’s just another night in Tokyo for them. This celebration, known as a ‘matsuri’, actually began at the nearby Hibiya Shrine where the kami of the temple had been moved from the shrine to be placed in ‘mikoshi’ housing to be paraded through the streets. It is then hauled to their shoulders and the procession began bouncing through Shimbashi streets shouting “wasshoi” and shaking it vigorously to amuse the kami inside. This night in Shimbashi was a reminder that Tokyo’s not just another multicultural city like New York, London or Bangkok. Yes, it has its Micky Ds, and the global brands, but ultimately culture, and daily life is uniquely Japanese.

A Walk to Tokyo Tower

During our stay we are in a typical business hotel, typically pokey with a plunge bath and washlet toilet. It’s just a short walk from the Shimbashi station area, only streets here are normal and nondescript. It’s a quiet area, hidden among highrise. On the second night, after picking up snacks at the local kombini, I find myself sat at the hotel window, drinking sake from what looks like a mini chocolate milk carton. When I do, I take note of an extra-large pylon in the nearby cityscape. This turns out to be Tokyo Tower, and it makes a handy marker, and gives me an excuse to wander aimlessly through the back alleys of the Shimbashi area. Tokyo Tower is a bit like the Eiffel Tower, only less romantic, and more red and white. The surrounding park is quiet. I spend the night watching traffic.
