Maenam Hotels and Maenam Resorts in Koh Samui

If you are headed to Koh Samui on a budget, then Maenam is probably the best first stop for you. Koh Samui was once an exclusive holiday resort for backpackers and the more adventurous traveller. With the boom in Thailand tourism, this jewel of an island was quickly discovered and embraced by more mainstream tourism. It is not surprising when you see the long stretches of sand and the crystal clear waters! Ko Samui is now well known throughout the world and is frequently listed as a top destination for a holiday. As a result, a lot of the backpacking staple of beach huts have disappeared. This isn't so at Maenam, where you can still find budget Maenam hotels and Maenam resorts.

Maenam beach really is unspoilt and a stunning beach to stay at. It has all the Samui staples of golden sand and cool blue water, but it also has a lot of very affordable beachfront hotels and beach huts. The beach waters get deep quickly which makes for excellent swimming. You should be careful in rougher weather, as there can be currents in the water . It really is surprising that this little gem of a location has not been developed more rapidly. The beach has a wonderful view of the neighbouring island of Koh Phangan and sees some beautiful sunrises. Maenam beach resorts are normally quiet and has a few nice beach bars and restaurants that are great to sit at and enjoy a cold beer.

If you step away from the beautiful beachfront there is the main town of Maenam that has several great local restaurants that have some fabulous cuisine. If you feel like a change from Thai food there is plenty of choice of international cuisine. You can find Italian, Indian, English and more along this stretch of road. There are also many small bars where you can sip a cocktail in the evening. There are also a few local craft stores that you can buy clothes and souvenirs to bring home after your stay.

Maenam is a great place for travelling out to the other islands for the day with Maenam pier being a main point of departure for many boats to travel around the Ko Samui island. The cheap discount deals available on Maenam accommodation make this an ideal spot for people hoping to stay a bit longer on the island or have a very limited budget.
