Trip Information

Maenam Pier is located on the north of Samui Island and right next to one of the island's most underrated beaches. The pier is a small but adequate ferry dock that does the job, hosting ferries that daily depart to and from Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and the Surat Thani mainland. The pier is relatively easy to find, although its possible your taxi driver may not know the location exactly. Good news though is that it's easy to find - on entering Maenam Village you'll see the one set of traffic lights, then a police booth, and then the entrance road to Maenam Pier itself. 

Maenam itself is not just a drive-through village. You'll find some nice relaxed, atmospheric restaurants just off the beach road, and the location is a little closer to some of the more traditional and rural Samui areas and lifestyles, which you might like to see. Maenam Beach is pretty awesome also, and a much quieter seaside beach than some of the other Samui beaches. The water is calm and good for swimming, and the golden sands are good for walking/relaxing on, it's very idyllic.

Speed Boat: Maenam Pier - Thong Sala Pier

Thong Sala Pier is the kind of perfectly functional island pier you'd expect an island-to-island ferry to arrive at. Located on the southwest of Koh Phangan, it's just 45 minutes away from Koh Samui. You'll notice the island's forested-mountainous terrain as you draw near. All of our FerrySamui.com ferries will arrive here, and the docking procedure is about as straightforward as it gets. Stepping off the boat, you'll find a gaggle of taxi drivers and tour merchants, but don't panic. The fares are pretty standard, it's 100-150 Thai Baht to the infamous Ban Had Rin, for example. Maybe you can grab a barbequed corn-on-the-cob for the ride! 

Thong Sala itself is the main town of Koh Phangan, and as such, you'll find some banks, currency exchangers, local pubs, and a nice few restaurants. Many backpackers will stay around here for a night or two because it's a nice place, its close to the pier, and it's the absolute best connecting point to anywhere else on the island - yep, all roads lead to Thong Sala. There's a nice fresh food market that's open mornings and evenings, plus you might even get to see a bit of Thai boxing in one of the stadiums if you're lucky. Renting a motorcycle here for your stay is quite easy unless of course it's "Full Moon Party" time, but please be careful on these 'island' roads!

Ferry: Thong Sala Pier - Mae Haad Pier

Coming into Mae Haad Pier, a few things will catch your eye; the beautiful natural collection of rocks, set against the palm-laced forested mountainous terrain almost-but-not-quite hiding the many small wooden chalets dotted around, the little boats scuttling to and fro from both sleepy bays and excellent little coves, and, Louis Armstrong-style, you'll think to yourself, "what a wonderful world"! Koh Tao is South-East Asia's answer to a Carribbean Isle for sure. 

Due to Koh Tao's reputation for being a glorious tropical diving centre of the world, you'll see laced along the Mae Haad Pier area an interesting and colourful assortment of diving/tour boats, but there's always a prime docking point for our ferries to make it easy for your embarkation/debarkation. Once on dry land, there's the usual assortment of restaurants, bars, 7-11s and a huge amount of dive shops (yep, shop around till you find the one for you!). Mae Haad itself is one of the busiest areas of Koh Tao, so you'll not be lacking for island resources. Stock up on your adventure gear and hit the trails.
