Ranong - Surroundings

Nam Tok Bunyaban waterfall lies near Highway 4, 18 km (11 mi.) north of Ranong. A further 31 km (19 mi.) along the deeply indented inlet Menam Kraburi (also called Menam Pak Chan) brings travelers to Tham Phra Kayang grotto, which has many statues of Buddha and is well worth seeing. Kraburi, a town in the mountains, is reached after another 13 km (8 mi.).

From Kraburi Highway 4 leads via the narrowest point on the Malay peninsula, the Isthmus of Kra, to Chumphon: the distance here between the Bay of Bengal and the Gulf of Thailand measures only 60 km (37 mi.).

There are also a number of attractions to visit within a short distance of Ranong.
