Heading north from Thongsala and sticking to the coast; the hills of khao Nai Wok offer the perfect place to watch the sunset over the islands of Ang Thong Marine Park; there are some great hillside bars as well as resort beach bars. Accommodation here is typically good value, with some great old skool resorts and a few high end luxury places.

The area immediately above Thongsala is close to the area frist settled on the island. Wat Phu Khao Noi has temple remains over 400 years old and impressive ocean views and there are numerous traditional Thai homesteads along the old plantation roads. Some of the locality's best bars and restaurants are to be found on the roads leading to Thongsala and the island's municipal centre, hospital and police headquarters are also located here.
