Koh Samui · Thailand
Where to Stay in Nathon, Koh Samui
The island’s main port town on the west coast, where most ferries arrive – more local than touristy.
✦ The vibe
Working town with a lived-in feel – good for authentic eats, but the beach is not for swimming.
👤 Best for
Budget travellers, backpackers catching ferries, and anyone wanting a non-resort experience.
🏨 Where to stay
Cheap guesthouses and small local hotels – very budget-friendly.
🚇 Getting around
Very walkable around the port; taxis/scooters needed for the airport (40 min) and elsewhere.
