My opinion:

If you are looking for accommodation near Wat Ra Ngaeng, you can see here a list of hotels near Wat Ra Ngaeng

This small temple is in Sikhoraphum about 30 kilometers from Surin and can be added to the program of a visit of Prasat Sikhoraphum, the Khmer temple of the city. Opposite to train station on the other side of the track, its visit can be done very quickly and enables you to wait until your train arrives in a more interesting way that staying on the station platform. Its small ordination hall is very classical and almost closed all the time but what makes this temple interesting is the beautiful golden image of Buddha walking.
Of course, it does not worth to go to Sikhoraphum especially to see Wat Ra Ngaeng but if you are already here, why not go have a look?

How to get to Wat Ra Ngaeng ?

You can get to Sikhoraphum by train (7 baht in 3rd class, it takes a little more than half an hour), it is the most convenient way to go there, hopping the train won't be late. There are always some of them in front of the station. Fare is 20 baht, double if you want the driver to wait for you and bring you back to the train station. Otherwise songthaew 1487 go from Surin to Surin, minivan 4400 too.
