The agriculture of Thailand may be traced through historical, scientific, and social aspects which produced modern Thailand's unique approach to agriculture. As Thai's population growth is dramatically, requirements of land for agricultures are also intensive. Remote sensing and GIS were used in order to evaluate and delineate value zoning map of agricultural land in Land Reform Area. The objective of this study conducted in Rayong province, Thailand, physical parameters was used to analyze for agricultural crops land suitability. Furthermore, the land suitability combined with the production yield, product price, production process expense, net income, etc. The value of land would be drawn as value zoning map which its value is calculated by its quantity and quality. This map will be useful for many stakeholders such as banker, farmer, agricultural land developer etc.
