Monuments to visit Andaman Sea Coast

This Buddha statue is more than 45 meters high. There are two performances, one of which is smaller, 12 metres high. Numerous donations made possible its construction, which took place between 2009 and 2016. It is easily visible from the road as it is located on the top of a 380-meter high hill (Nakkerd Hills) between Karon Beach and Kata Beach. Next to the large statue is a small golden Buddha statue made of 20 tons of copper. At the top of the mountain the view is breathtaking over the bay. On the spot, beware of robber monkeys!

Built on top of a hill in the centre of the city, the Rattanarangsan Palace (or throne room) was completed in 2015. It is a replica of a structure originally built on the same site to accommodate King Chulalongkorn on his 1890 tour of the Malay Peninsula. Guided tour in English. There is a wealth of information on the history of Ranong as well as photos of the original palace and antiques. After visiting the palace, it is advisable to climb to the top of Khao Nives to enjoy the panorama.
