A long, quiet bay on Samui's north coast with a family beach, a night market and gentle shelving sand.
Practical
Southeast Asia Pilot position 9°34.612'N 99°59.952'E. Anchor in 4-6 m on sand. The Pilot rates the north-shore bays as the best protected on Samui in either monsoon. Hazard: a submerged rock off Laem Na Rang (position not published by the Pilot; check your chart and approach in good light). Ashore: night market, Lotus's supermarket and the Koh Samui Immigration Office within walking distance. Wikivoyage calls Maenam quiet and family-friendly, with shallow water.
