Maenam Beach is Located fairly close to the port of Nathon, Maenam beach had some of the first bungalows on Koh Samui. Maenam beach is a four kilometer stretch of firm, clean sand and sparkling water. Maenam is located on the north side of Koh Samui, east of Bang Po. The warm water is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, sailing and other water sports.

There is an interesting village here with a definite Chinese influence. Lots of wooden shophouses with a Chinese flavor, and even a small Chinese temple! There are plenty of interesting shops and restaurants in the village. Many tour companies and dive shops. There is accommodation for all budgets.

There are two piers in Maenam, one for express boats and the other for speedboats to Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, Koh Nang Yuan and Angthong National Marine Park.

This is a pleasant, quiet spot, for families, couples and singles alike. If you are looking for night life, you will have to travel out of Maenam.
