Laem Chabang is a city in Chonburi Province, Thailand. It occupies the tambon Bang Lamung of Bang Lamung District, the tambons Bueng, Surasak, Thung Sukhla, and parts of Nong Kham of Si Racha District.

The port occupies 2,572 acres (1,041 ha) and is capable of handling the largest (Post-Panamax) vessels.
Development of the port complex started in 1988 to encourage development outside Bangkok and take advantage of proximity to the Gulf of Thailand. The container port was completed in 1991. In 2014 it handled 6.58 million TEUs, making it the 22nd busiest container port in the world. Much of the international shipping reaching Thailand passes through Laem Chabang.

Laem Chabang also has world class golf courses, such as the Laem Chabang International Country Club designed by Jack Nicklaus.
Irene has provided us with several memorable and exciting vacations throughout the years. She has a great deal of experience and can provide a wide range of information about various destinations. Irene takes time to carefully look for vacations that fit your criteria and that she feels will be enjoyable for you. Each time we've taken a vacation that Irene has planned, it has been exceptional all-around, and is somewhere we would love to return to again. Each time we return back, we are quick to share how much fun we had on our trip and are back to ask Irene to help with another vacation shortly after. Most recently, we took a trip to Mexico in which we thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our vacation package. It was another wonderful getaway! Thanks Irene for all of your help!
