A little history
Nathon Beach on Koh Samui has a rich history, dating back to when Koh Samui was covered in dense forests and inhabited only by small communities of fishermen. Over time, it became the center of the island's development and one of its key tourist hubs. The name "Nathon" comes from the Thai word for "small river" - a reference to the Lipa Yai River, which flows into the sea next to the beach.
