Maenam Beach

Maenam Beach is one of Thailand’s most pristine beaches - a gentle paradise of intricate beauty. This 4-kilometre stretch features yellowish sand and a coastline that is well trimmed with palm trees that make the place look like a perfect postcard picture.

Despite being a tourist destination, Maenam has a peaceful and laid-back atmosphere that is ideal for family vacations. You’ll unlikely come across a noisy party but rather, you’ll see kids playing on the beach, couples of all ages enjoying their quality time together, and older tourists paddling in the water. It is the perfect place if you’re looking for serenity and solitude. As Maenam Beach occupies the third spot in Thailand’s most popular beaches, its entire coast is also occupied with bungalows and other buildings for businesses. It also has restaurants that serve local Thai, Chinese, Western, and other international dishes. A trip to Maenam Beach is a total experience – from sight to taste, the place offers remarkable experiences.
