Must-sees & Must-Dos in Ranong?
What to do and see in Ranong
The most surprising visit to do in Ranong is probably the visit of Raksawarin hot spring. The water flows naturally at 65 °C. Ponds with 40°C water are available for free for those who wants to enjoy the benefits of this water. Otherwise, in the city,there is a royal residence: Rattarungsun Throne. Wat Suwankhiri has not great interest but you may enjoy to have look. Otherwise, in Ranong province, you have many waterfalls, some of which accessible via local buses. And there is even a canyon in Ranong but we did not go there so we are unable to say if it worths a visit.I also listed at the end of the page some good tours, excursions and activities that you can do in Ranong or from Ranong.
