When the sky is clear, there is a shrine to Prince of Chumphon Khet Udomsak built on the HTMS Jen Talay, which is a large replica of the real ship in the past. Construction of the ship began on February 12, 1997 and was completed in 1999. HTMS Jen Talay, which His Royal Highness Prince of Chumphon ordered to be built, was originally a German transport ship. The Royal Thai Navy seized it from the German military during World War I and renamed it "Jen Talay". After that, the name was changed from Jen Talay to "HTMS Kram" (the first ship) on January 20, 1935. It is a ship of historical importance and is also the ship that carried the royal corpse from Hat Sai Ri, Chumphon Province to the Grand Palace. In addition, the temple area is home to a statue of the Bodhisattva Guanyin sitting on a frog, the only one in the world that is not sitting on a dragon. On the top of the hill is a large statue of the Buddha bestowing blessings. Khao Khao Beach Viewpoint is not far from the town of Lang Suan. In the same area, there is another tourist attraction, Pak Nam Lang Suan. Here, there is also a replica of the HTMS Chakri Naruebet.
