Maenam

Maenam, Koh Samui

Maenam is located on the northern coast of Koh Samui, nestled between Bophut to the east and Bang Po to the west. Maenam Beach is one of the longest beaches on Koh Samui, stretching for around 7 kilometers along the northern coastline. Unlike busier beaches like Chaweng, Maenam Beach remains quiet and less developed, offering a peaceful environment for relaxation. Its long stretch of shoreline makes it easy to find secluded spots even during busier times, and the surrounding palm trees add to the natural beauty of the area.  The beach is known for its shallow waters, making it suitable for swimming, especially for families with children. Although the water can sometimes appear cloudy due to the sandy seabed, it provides a safe environment for wading and playing near the shore.

Tourist attractions and landmarks near Maenam

Given its long coastline, Maenam is a great spot for water sports and boating activities. Visitors can enjoy paddleboarding, kayaking, and even jet skiing along the calm waters of Maenam Beach. Additionally, several operators offer boat tours to nearby islands such as Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. Ethical tourism is growing in Koh Samui, and a visit to an elephant sanctuary is a memorable experience. For golf enthusiasts, Santiburi Samui Country Club is one of the top attractions in the area. The Walking Street Market is one of the main shopping attractions in Maenam. Every Thursday, the streets are lined with vendors selling handcrafted jewelry, clothing, accessories, and local products. If you’re looking for more extensive shopping options, Central Festival Samui in Chaweng is just a 15-minute drive away.

While Maenam is not as expat-heavy as other parts of Koh Samui, it still attracts a significant number of foreign residents. Many expats who live here are drawn to the area for its quiet and laid-back lifestyle, which is perfect for those looking to escape the busier parts of the island.

Transportation

Despite being a more low-key part of the island, Maenam is easily accessible and offers a variety of transportation options. Maenam is about a 20-minute drive from Samui International Airport, making it convenient for those who travel frequently. The airport connects Koh Samui with major cities in Thailand like Bangkok, as well as international destinations such as Singapore and Hong Kong. Maenam Pier is one of the main departure points for ferries traveling to the nearby islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. Koh Phangan is famous for its Full Moon Party, while Koh Tao is a hotspot for scuba diving. Ferries and speedboats run regularly from Maenam Pier, making island-hopping a popular activity for residents and tourists alike. Getting around Maenam is easy, with taxis and Songthaews (shared pick-up trucks) readily available. For those staying longer, renting a motorbike or car is often the most convenient way to explore Koh Samui at your own pace. Motorbike rentals are particularly popular due to their affordability and the ease of navigating the island’s roads.
