Investing in Maenam, Koh Samui: area guide

On Koh Samui's north shore, Maenam is the island's quiet side: a four-kilometre palm-lined beach, an authentic village, yet everything you need a few minutes away. A location that appeals to families and investors alike.

Location and access

Maenam faces the Gulf of Thailand on the island's north coast. It is one of the best-connected areas: about 20 minutes from Samui International Airport and 15 minutes from Nathon Pier. Maenam Pier (Lomprayah) makes it easy to reach Koh Phangan and Koh Tao — a real plus for holiday rentals.

The beach and the mood

Maenam beach stretches nearly 4 km, with tall coconut palms, calm warm water ideal for swimming, and far gentler crowds than Chaweng. That is the area's strength: seaside charm without the crush.

Village life

At the heart of the bay, the Walking Street (marked by its "Chinatown Maenam" arch) comes alive on Thursday evenings as a friendly night market. Restaurants, cafés, shops and daily essentials sit in a still-preserved village atmosphere.

Right nearby

Bophut and its Fisherman's Village — one of the island's most popular spots, with the big weekend market — are about 10 minutes east. Bang Rak beaches, golf courses and international hospitals are also within easy reach.
