Mae Name Beach — Attraction in Surat Thani Province

Probably most of it is rather clean and cared for since sections of the beach are being maintained by the adjacent hotels.

The sections that are being vacant, further down the beach close to the Lomprayah pier, are a complete nightmare. There’s trash everywhere. Nobody feels responsible because the hotel owners don’t look right or left. Also there’s plastic glitter everywhere, probably from New Year’s. I am baffled how you could use glitter when you’re next to the sea and the majority ends up in water.

It’s quite cynical when you’re at the pier and there’s banners asking for eco-friendly packaging due to trash. And then the whole beach looks like the pics attached.

I think we might have seen a few people doing an effort cleaning up but if it wasn’t for the tourists, there wouldn’t be clean...

It is a nice beach. As other people say, it is very quiet (at least in Aug-Sep). Not my favourite in Ko Samui since the water is not crystal clear like in Chaweng or Choeng Mon beaches. The sand is golden colour and most of the beach is lined with palm trees. However, it seems like some property developers don’t understand that people want to go the beach and if you build almost over it then it is not an enjoyable experience. I would recommend coming here if you want to relax and don’t mind not having a beach with white sand and crystal clear water. Also, it seems that they anchor way too many speedboats...

Came here at night. Lovely and peaceful with night lights peppered along the beach it's a nice walk even in the dark.

Not busy and not loud, you will find some others enjoying the evening scenery but easy to avoid them given the long beach.

We chilled on some deck chairs and ate our takeout there with no problems since noone is around at night. Definitely recommend an evening swim in the lovely ocean too - given the temperature you're...
