It is a good place to buy Burmese curries and samosas, as well as look for books in the Mon language.

Sangkhla Buri has a lovely lake which is actually a reservoir created by the damming of Khwae Noi River. At the northern shore of the lake is Wat Wangwiwekaram, a Buddhist temple visited by the Burmese and Mon people. There is also a market taking place around the temple.
