In the past, Bang Boet was known for farming watermelons on Prince Sithiporn Kridakara's cultivation.

Not far from the beach and hill is home to the Sithiporn Kridakara Research Station and Museum that exhibits his work and biography.

[3] Beside the road along the station to the south at Tham Thong Beach is the only remaining sand dune in Thailand.

The sand dune lies almost parallel to the present coastline with highest elevation of about 20 m (65.6 ft) above mean sea level and covers an area of 2,000 rais (790 acres), a total distance of 10 km (6.2 mi).

[4] In addition, there is also a jetty called Bang Boet Fish Marketing that extends into the sea.
