Spectacular Sunset at Hat Si Thanu,<br />
Hat Chao <strong>Pha</strong>o, and Hat Son<br />
Among all beaches on the west coast of <strong>Ko</strong> <strong>Pha</strong>-<strong>ngan</strong>, Hat Si Thanu, Hat Chao<br />
<strong>Pha</strong>o, and Hat Son have the best spots to view a spectacular sunset. On this western<br />
side, the Ang Thong group of islands can be seen clearly, and all spots offer varying<br />
scenic views, depending on which angle the view is seen. Hat Si Thanu stretches<br />
from the end of Laem Si Thanu to the northern part. Its headland is a slope, which<br />
is also the location of several beautiful resorts. On the top of the slope, the sunset<br />
is clearly visible. Next to Laem Si Thanu is Hat Si Thanu<br />
stretching 800 meters towards Laem Niat. Since this area<br />
boasts fine beaches and rows of pine trees, it is also called<br />
Laem Son (Pine Cape). Many bungalows are available, as<br />
beaches in this site are of good quality for swimming,<br />
sunbathing, and sunset watching. Back to 40 years ago, local<br />
residents in this area were mainly engaged in tin mining,<br />
which stopped operations around 20 years ago. A tin mine<br />
that was turned into a large lagoon still exists here for<br />
people to remember the legend of miners on <strong>Ko</strong> <strong>Pha</strong>-<strong>ngan</strong>.<br />
It is generally referred to as Laem Son lagoon.<br />
