Laem Son 5.8 km. from the ferry pier
In the western part of Koh Phangan there is a natural highlight of the island - the largest fresh lake Laem Son. Coconut palms and amazing casuarina trees grow around (the so-called "Thai Christmas trees" - tropical plants that look very similar to conifers).
The lake is popular both among the guests of the island and among local residents - they have picnics here on the shore in the shade of trees. There is a cafe nearby which is very convenient.
