Sights and activities in Bang Saphan: Apart from Wat Tham Marong and its cave, there aren't any truly interesting monuments to visit in Bang Saphan. However, there are some lovely bike rides to be had, especially towards Bo Thong Lang. A touring bike is highly recommended (you can rent one at GK Guesthouse; the owner is very friendly). Alternatively, a trip to the nearby island of Koh Talu is worthwhile. The beach there is beautiful. Travel agencies and some hotels offer day trips to Koh Talu, but you can also take a boat on your own. There's only one boat trip in the morning and one back in the afternoon.

Other places worth seeing in Bang Saphan include Wat Khao Tham and Ma Rong, known for its cave converted into a temple. There is also an animal shelter for abandoned dogs where you can volunteer.

Further excursion tips in Bang Saphan Koh Talu: A beautiful private island, only 30 minutes from Bang Saphan Yai. Many agencies offer day trips (e.g. Suchat Boat Tour – Tel.: 081 759 4997 (mobile)).
