In the Bueng Khong Long district lies a large lake that serves as a bird sanctuary, particularly for migratory birds that overwinter there. It is considered a natural tourist attraction with a great diversity of species. The waters are rich in various aquatic life. Near the lake is Hat Kham Somboon, a place with a long sandy beach that is a popular spot to relax in winter.

In 1977, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great commissioned the Royal Irrigation Bureau to examine a project for water retention for agriculture during the dry season. The project was completed in 1980, and the area was declared the Bueng Khong Long Wildlife Reserve. In 2001, Bueng Khong Long was recognized worldwide as the 1,098th Wetland of International Importance due to its natural biodiversity and its importance as a habitat for numerous aquatic plants and animals. Over 100 species of waterbirds have been recorded here.
