Description Eastern Thailand as delineated here is bounded by the national border with Cambodia to the east and the Gulf of Thailand, possessing a tropical climate similar to Central Thailand. Though it contains major tourist destinations like Pattaya, Koh Samet, and Koh Chang and is a major region for tropical fruit cultivation, the region’s economy is anchored by industrial manufacturing and trade, with the Eastern Economic Corridor serving as a special economic zone for further investment in high-tech industries and logistics.
