Situated on the banks of the Bang Pakong River, Wat Sothon Wararam houses the highly revered Luang Phor Sothon Buddha image. Religious followers come to the temple to seek favors in the form of financial wealth and health from the Lanna-style Buddha image. In return, dancers attired in elaborate classical costumes are hired to perform for the resident spirits.

An interesting attraction at Wat Pho Bang Kla is the large group of thousands of bats hanging inverted from large trees on the compound during the daytime. The Mae Kai (mother hen) bats have black-colored wings, brown furs, red cheeks, and wolverine facial features of small nose and ears, but large eyes. At dusk, these fruit-eating mammals set off in search of food.

Khao Hin Sorn’s unique appearance resembles a random piling of large, smooth, white sandy rocks on top of each other, thus its name. Around the area is a temple of the same name and the well-manicured Somdej Phra Pinklao Park.

The Khao Hin Sorn Research and Development Center was established by King Rama IX, the present monarch, with the objective to experiment and study in the area of growth of different flora and fauna species, fishery, and animal preservation.

Khao Ang Ranai Wildlife Sanctuary encompasses a large area that extends into 5 provinces. It contains the last well-preserved tropical forest of the eastern region and is the origin of the Bangpakong River and the Prasae River in Rayong. The park’s main attraction is the Ang Ranai Waterfall.
