The thick forests lying around the village makes it one of the best places to observe birds and wild life in their natural habitats. The swift flowing mountain rivers along with numerous waterfalls make it a nature lover’s delight as well.

The Rayong Sunrise Viewpoint is vantage point from where one can see the amazing beauty of the first rays of the sun falling on the snowy peaks.
