Hua Thanon is an interesting little fishing village located about 5 minutes south of Lamai, on the island ring road. There are many old wooden shophouses lining the ring road, in addition to other shops and restaurants. Wat Sila Ngu (Wat rock snake) is close by and is an interesting place.

Coming from Lamai, the ring road makes a sharp right turn. If you do not take the turn, but instead go straight ahead onto the small, rough road, you will find yourself in the heart of the local market. This market is very colorful and here you can purchase some of the freshest and cheapest seafood on the island.

Hua Thanon is predominately a Muslim village. Once you go past the market you will see where the locals live. This is known as Baan Hua Thanon, (house at the head of the road). This is a neat place and worth the trip if you are traveling around the island.
