This is the Amphur in Ranong. Ranong is a small, but scenic island located in the Gulf of Thailand. It is part of the Chanthaburi province of Thailand and is also part of Kengtung State in Myanmar. The name ‘Ranong’ means ‘tortoise’ in Malay; perhaps referring to the abundance of tortoises on the island. Despite its name, ‘ranong’ means ‘blue’ in Thai. In addition, the Thai word for ‘island’ is also ‘ran.’ As a result, the name ‘Ranong’ literally means ‘[a place] with blue islands.’
