One of the main attractions in Don Sak is Wat Khao Suwan Pradit (วัดเขาสุวรรณประดิษฐ์). It is a buddhist temple located on a hill about 1 kilometer from the town Don Sak. Luang Pho Choi, who is a highly revered monk of southern Thailand founded the said temple in 1982. A 45 meter high chedi that contains Buddha relics sits on top of the hill of Wat Khao Suwan Pradit. This relic came from Wat Phra Kiat (Amphoe Hot, Chiang Mai Province).
Around the chedi is a platform that offers a great view of the town and the Gulf of Thailand.
