What to do and see in Ban Krut
The highlight of visiting Ban Krut, which also attracts many thai tourists, is the Wat Tang Sai temple, perched on a hill at the end of the beach and the large golden Buddha a little below. Its typical small market near the train station is also a place where it is nice to stroll and buy some food before taking the train.
