Rayong is a city situated on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, serving as the capital of Rayong province. As a coastal location on the Gulf, it forms part of Thailand's submarine cable infrastructure, connecting the country to its regional neighbors across Southeast Asian waters. One submarine cable lands at Rayong, linking Thailand to Cambodia and Malaysia through a dedicated regional corridor.
The cable landing at Rayong supports a regional connectivity corridor across the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea, enabling direct submarine links between the three neighboring states of Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia. While Rayong's single cable makes it a focused, single-cable terminus rather than a multi-cable hub, it nonetheless contributes to the broader submarine cable map of Thailand's eastern Gulf coast.
The Malaysia-Cambodia-Thailand (MCT) Cable is the sole submarine cable landing at Rayong. Spanning approximately 1,300 km, the MCT Cable reached its ready-for-service status in 2017 on a draft basis. The cable connects Thailand with Cambodia and Malaysia, forming a triangular regional link across the waters of the Gulf of Thailand and the surrounding seas. This relatively compact cable by regional standards provides direct submarine capacity among all three participating countries, filling a niche in the Southeast Asian regional network that might otherwise depend on longer, more circuitous international routes.
Among Thailand's seven submarine cable landing points, Rayong sits in the middle tier by cable count. Songkhla leads the country with nine cables and Satun with seven, while Sriracha hosts four. Rayong, alongside Chumphon, Koh Samui, and Phetchaburi, accounts for a single cable each, placing it in the lower range of landing point activity within Thailand. Its position on the Gulf of Thailand's eastern coast, however, gives it a distinct geographic orientation compared to landing points on Thailand's southern peninsula.
Rayong functions as a single-cable terminus for the MCT Cable, channeling submarine connectivity between Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia. The cable's 1,300 km length makes it one of the shorter systems in a national average that trends toward approximately 8,000 km, reflecting its explicitly regional rather than intercontinental purpose. The corridor it enables is a direct, intra-Southeast Asian link, offering a more immediate routing option for traffic between these three Gulf-adjacent countries.
As a landing point hosting one regionally oriented cable, Rayong represents a specialized node in Thailand's submarine cable geography. In the broader regional submarine cable graph, its presence ensures that Thailand's Gulf coast maintains at least one direct connection to its immediate maritime neighbors, Cambodia and Malaysia, through dedicated underwater infrastructure.
