In the center of the North coast of the island, Maenam offers
spectacular views of Koh Phangan to the North, and the Ang Thong National Marine Park to
the East. The waters are calm and clean, being protected from the North Easterly currents
by Koh Phangan. Because the sans are golden rather than white Maenam is usually much less
crowded than Lamai or Chaweng, and Maenam's restaurants and bars still retain much of the
local Thai flavor as well as being more reasonably priced, or even inexpensive. Overall
Maenam is quieter, more relaxed, with local Thai community still pretty much intact.
Maenam is also home to the Santiburi Resort, still considered by many to be the premier
hotel on the island. The major golf course on the island is also in Maenam.
