Maenam Beach is situated on the northern coast of Koh Samui, Thailand, and is known for its stunning 7-kilometer long stretch of palm-fringed sandy shores. The beach offers a tranquil escape from the more crowded beaches of Chaweng and Lamai, making it ideal for those seeking a more serene beach experience. Maenam provides stunning views of Koh Phangan and has softer sand and clearer water, particularly suitable for swimming and sunbathing. The atmosphere here is laid-back, with a mix of luxury resorts, bungalows, and beachfront restaurants serving Thai and international cuisine. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities such as watersports, including jet-skiing, paddleboarding, and kite surfing. At the western end of the beach, there's Lomprayah Pier where ferries depart to nearby islands. The beach is also popular for its weekly walking street market, offering a plethora of food, drinks, and local crafts, held every Thursday evening. Maenam's charm lies in its balance of serene beach life combined with enough entertainment options without being overwhelming.

Gorgeous beach with a stunning view over to Koh Phangan
A ovely beach with best views on the Island as you can see right over to Koh Phangan. A bit of rubbish in spots due to the storms this month but otherwise very clean and lovely sand.
