To really appreciate Suan Phueng’s natural scenery, it’s best to get out of your resort and explore waterfalls, kayak in a river, or take a dip in a natural hot spring or cool stream at Som Maew Rapid (25km southwest of the city). Many resorts also offer a range of activities to keep you entertained, including feeding the sheep (the most popular), pony riding, bicycling and archery. At Baan Hom Tien, you can also try your hand at candle making and bring home a piece of candle art.
