The Past
During the late Ayutthaya period, when the former capital was being
razed to the ground by the invading Burmese, Phaya Tak led a troop
of patriots, broke through the cordon of besieging troops and marched
to Rayong in order to build up his navy before proceeding on to
Chanthaburi. Because of his courage and bravery, the soldiers and
local population anointed him as "King" in Rayong. Once
he had built up sufficient troop strength, Phaya Tak who later became
King Taksin of the Kingdom of Thonburi returned to Ayutthaya, routed
the Burmese and set up a new capital in Thonburi.
