Perhaps the ideal viewpoint of the scenery in Koh Phangan has kept Maenam a peaceful beach. Or perhaps because of the fact that many of the resorts surround the beach are located at the end of the long trails, it has given this place a quiet, secluded location that has never been. Originally Maenam was the area for backpackers, but nowadays there are many resorts near the sea suitable for many types of visitors from budget to luxury. Maenam beach is like Bophut, charming with golden sand beach. It is also a perfect playground for sunset walks and you can stop anywhere to enjoy the drinks available in the beach bars to recharge.
