    A Visit to the International Tsunami Museum. You will see exhibits of the memorabilia signifiying what the locals had gone through during that fateful December tsunami.

Close by is the Baan Nam Khem Tsunami Memorial Park where a large police patrol boat had been carried by the wave 1 km inland.

There are the HTMS Pratong, Premchai, MV Sea Chart and Boonsung, where every part of these wrecks are now hosting several marine species – crabs and shrimps, eels, lionfish, trevally, and more.
    Khao Sok National Park. This national park is like entering an amazing different world of just naturein the thick rainforest, jungles, caves, waterfalls, limestone cliffs and a tiny island within a lake.
    Kayak Around Pha Nga Bay. Nearby is Khao Phing Kan, dubbed James Bond Island as the location of the James Bond movie “Man with the Golden Sun,” with storybook caves and mythical karsts, a perfect target for a kayaking tour.
