The town on Samui is named Nathon. You will find banks, post offices, restaurants, stores and shops here, but it's is not a place where so many people choose to stay at. Nathon also has a rather long pier where boats from mainland of Thailand arrives.
Some tourists started to come here in early 70s, when the only business here were coconuts and fishing. I went to Samui first time in 1989-90. Electrical power cuts were then so common, you didn't even notice them. Of course prices were lower (Khao phed gai; fried rice with chicken was 10 bath) But as Samui has become a very popular tourist destination, prices is of course higher today, even if they still can be considered as very reasonable. Many hope that Samui stay at least a little more relaxed then Phuket and Pattaya but time will show.
Beaches Most beaches has white sand and are fringed with coconut palms. Many resorts and hotels are located just a couple of meters from the beach. The most popular
| Chaweng Beach is the most famous and beautiful beach on Samui Island, and also the longest beach on Samui Island with 6 km distance. Chaweng Beach was separated to 4 parts; North Chaweng Beach located on northernmost, Central Chaweng Beach located on the middle, South Chaweng and Chaweng Noi Beach located on southernmost. Chaweng beach has a bight shape and it's not too deep so you will see the tourist swimming, sun-bathing, kayaking, parasailing, sailing and doing others beach activities. Nearby, you can go for paintball and shooting. With the charming of the white sand and crystal blue-sky sea make the Chaweang Beach rapidly become a popular place among tourists and also the center of travel business on Samui Island or Koh Samui. |
