Places to visit in Bang Saphan
What to see in Bang Saphan
With the exception of Wat Tham Marong and its cave, there is no really interesting monuments to visit in Bang Saphan. However, there are some interesting rides to do, especially on the side towards Bo Thong Lang. And wander bike is very nice (you can rent one at G.K Guesthouse, the owner is very friendly). Otherwise the trip to do in the area is to go to Koh Talu island. The beach there is more beautiful. Agencies and some hotels offer day trips to Koh Talu, but you can also take a boat to get there on your own. There is only one boat to go in the morning and one to go back in the afternoon.
