Its night life is small compared to Pattaya, Phuket and Koh Samui. But it is lively, intimate and delightful. Restaurants, guesthouses, tailor shops, shop houses and gardens line the narrow streets that criss cross the main roads.
The beach, a few large hotels, restaurants and a boat pier are on the eastern side. On the boat landing bridge is a docking place for small fishing boats and a market where catch from the sea are traded. People scroll along the beach. Horse riding is available. Also available are water sports, boat trips out into the sea and to the islands.
