Maenam Beach
หาดแม่น้ำ
A quiet, long sandy beach on the north coast with gentle, shallow water and many resorts. It faces Koh Phangan and suits families and visitors seeking calm.
Maenam Beach lies on the north coast of Koh Samui. Its sand stretches about 4 km. Compared with the busy Chaweng, the pace here is slower. The water is shallow and the waves are small. Most of the coastline is mid-range to upscale resorts and budget bungalows. On clear days, you can see Koh Phangan across the water. Every Thursday evening, the Maenam Walking Street night market offers affordable Thai street food. Some speedboats to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao leave from Maenam Pier. The beach is about 15 minutes by car from the airport.
