Simply wave to the driver when you see one and ask them if they are going to Mae Nam Beach. The fare is usually around 50-100 THB. The journey takes about 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. Once you arrive at Mae Nam, ask the driver to drop you off at the beach entrance, which is a short walk from the main road.

If you are staying in the Mae Nam area, you can simply walk to Maenam Beach. Look for signs pointing to the beach or ask locals for directions. The beach is easily accessible from most hotels in the area. As you walk, enjoy the local scenery and shops, which may offer delicious snacks and refreshing drinks along the way.

Bicycle Rental
Consider renting a bicycle from a nearby shop if you're feeling adventurous. Many rental shops are available throughout Koh Samui, especially in tourist areas like Chaweng and Lamai.
