RAYONG, THAILAND – Central Pattana Public Company Limited (CPN), led by Mr. Athikiati Chirathivat, Manager of Hotel Operations for GO Hotel, recently organized an immersive media familiarization trip to Rayong. Under the "GO Local Eat Local" initiative, the journey aimed to go beyond conventional tourism, inviting media partners to experience the authentic lifestyle, sustainable community efforts, and rich culinary heritage of this vibrant coastal province.
The two-day curated itinerary began with a touch of nature and conservation at Melaluca Canal Beach Club, where guests participated in a crab-releasing activity, followed by a tranquil afternoon of kayaking through the ancient wetlands of the Rayong Botanical Garden. As evening approached, the group headed to the local-favorite "Krua Aor Jor Sor" (ร้านลับลับครัว อจส.), a hidden culinary gem where they savored exceptionally fresh seafood sourced directly from local fishing nets—a true reflection of Rayong’s coastal bounty.
The second day offered a nostalgic glimpse into Rayong’s heritage. The morning started with a legendary breakfast at Joke Nai Jua (โจ๊กนายจั๊วะ), a beloved local spot for traditional rice porridge. This was followed by a serene tea-sipping session at Pasa Cha (ร้านภาษาชา), a charming teahouse nestled in the historic Yomjinda Road district, where the past and present of Rayong’s old town seamlessly meet.
“The GO Local Eat Local project is more than just a promotion; it’s about creating a travel experience that honors local culture and supports the community’s economy sustainably,” said Mr. Athikiati Chirathivat. “Through GO Hotel, we aim to be a gateway for travelers to discover these hidden stories and meaningful connections.”

The journey reached its sweet finale at Suan Thurian Khun Yai (Grandma's Durian Orchard).
