This coastal town has its own distinctive charm, enhanced by the graces of nature as every evening the ruby red sun dips its flaming rays into the dark waters of the sea to snuff out the flamboyant spectrum of colours till the next day. These ravishing sunsets alone have allured many tourists to the town. While in town one can undergo other great sailing expedition like a visit to the Anthong Marine National Park. This is a turquoise blue stretch of the ocean, found about 30 km away to the west of Ko samui with a cluster of small fascinating islands with white sun drenched beaches, fringed by rocky cliffs and frolicking waves emitting misty sea spray from the cliff tops.
Na thon receives the visitors to Samui at its main port and has a distinct layout with two piers extending to the sea at its north end. The town, which is the only one in the island among the villages is also the central business and administrative district and has a commercial value with its lineup of boutiques among which the Chinese shops takes the spot light with an extensive array of goods and items including even gold. In this coastal stretch, seafood are another readily available mouth watering item and a good stretch of the ocean front street space is taken up by the restaurants that prepare juicy and succulent seafood, taken fresh from the sea and marinated.
