Lang Suan is, however, a moderately popular beach resort town with Thai holiday makers and foreign visitors who prefer to spend their time at the beach away from large crowds of other foreign holiday makers. The town itself has a small number of hotels and pleasant places to eat, and the main attractions to visit in the area are:

  • Kho Khao Beach: A 6 km stretch of white sand beach with a view point at the Northern end and a temple at the Southern end.

The viewpoint at the Northern end of the beach is 18.8 km from Lang Suan Railway Station and there are resorts on the beach where you can stay.
  • Somdet Phra Srinagarindra Park: Located 5.5 km to the West of Lang Suan Railway Station the highlight of this park on the river is Khao Ngoen hill which features several caves, the largest of which is Lom Cave. There are also some very entertaining monkeys in park and tranquil gardens to wander around. It is a bit overgrown, but in a way that adds to its charm.
  • Khao Kriab Cave: Khao Kriab Cave is part of a very small temple, with a Buddha statue inside the cave next to several impressive stalactites and stalagmites. There are also some great views from the top of the concrete stairs you need to climb to enter the cave. Khao Kriab Cave is 25.8 km to the South of Lang Suan Railway Station.
