There are some hills near Rayong or Pattaya and more rural setting, but once you're there (by bus is easy) you really need a car but there are many drivers with cars there.
Any particular hills you’d recommend for hiking in Rayong? That’s an area I haven’t explored yet. I’m in Chon Buri and saw some nice mountains in the distance from Si Racha, but I don’t know of any good mountain trails there.
