THE REST VILLAGE is located on Thailand’s Inter-City Motorway No. 7 (M7), also known as the Bangkok–Chonburi Motorway, a major transportation corridor linking Bangkok and its metropolitan area to the Eastern Region. The project is conceived as a key infrastructure component supporting the growth of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) and the region’s major tourist destinations.
The development aims to enhance the quality of life for motorway users by reimagining the roadside rest area as a comprehensive service destination. Designed to accommodate diverse needs and provide maximum convenience, THE REST VILLAGE serves as a welcoming stopover for long-distance travelers while also functioning as a shared amenity for surrounding communities.
