Nai Thon is a pretty chill surf spot located in an isolated bay, surrounded by rocky headlands that add a bit of shape to the waves. It's in front of a small bungalow complex, which gives it a laid-back vibe. While it might not be the biggest name in surfing, it can be a nice place to catch some waves without the crowds.
The best swell direction for Nai Thon is from the SouthWest, but it can also pick up swells from the West. The spot handles swell sizes starting from around 1 ft (0.3 meters) and breaks over a mix of rock ledge and sand. You can find both left and right waves, which is great for surfers who like variety. The conditions are generally good with the wind coming from the East, and it's most rideable during low to mid and even high tides. It's an intermediate spot, so it’s best suited for surfers who have some experience under their belts.
If you’re planning to surf at Nai Thon, keep an eye out for rips, and remember that there’s a shallow reef lurking below, so stay aware of your surroundings. This spot can be a good choice when the conditions line up, giving you a solid day on the water.
