About Mae Haad

This busy port town suits practical travellers wanting immediate access to ferries and scooter rentals.

Staying near the pier means you can drop your bags shortly after stepping off the ferry from Chumphon or Samui. The streets are filled with dive centres and rental shops, making it a highly convenient base. Pick this area for early departures, but skip it if you prefer quiet beach days away from the boat traffic.

Getting there: Walk from the main ferry pier where all boats arrive.
Watch out for: Heavy foot and scooter traffic around ferry arrival times.
