 
Nathon
 Located
on the northwest of Samui, Nathon is the major port and seafront
settlement where express and night ferries from the piers
in Surat Thani arrive and tourists can get away to other beaches
and islands in the Gulf of Thailand.
Nathon
is one of the tantalizing spots for a little town life. It
is a tourist town now where shops, restaurants, tour agencies
and hotels are located. In a sense, amid the touristy atmosphere
you can still experience an authentic local village through
a walk in town. Nathon retains a few old teak Chinese shop-houses
and cafes.
For
those who drive vehicles, watch out! To enter the town, you
have to be careful about a rather confusing traffic system.
The traffic rules in Nathon are quite strict with lines of
police along the road ready to catch transgressors.
