Maehaad Guesthouse

Maehaad Guesthouse is a 2-star resort in Haad Salad, Koh Phangan, 9.6 km from Thong Sala, with air-conditioned rooms and Mae Haad Beach 200 m away. Its coastal setting suits travellers looking for a simple base near the shore, with beaches and snorkelling spots close by. The resort has two room choices, each measuring 25 m² and accommodating up to two people. One has a double bed, while the other has two single beds; both include air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower, flat-screen cable TV, a refrigerator, desk and wardrobe.

A tour desk, bicycle rental, laundry and shuttle service are available, and free public parking is possible on site. WiFi is free in the rooms. The resort is a 30-minute drive from Thong Sala Pier, the island’s main port. Guests praise the quiet surroundings, well-kept rooms, friendly owners and Thai food served at a nearby venue. Mae Haad Beach and Koh Ma offer coastal outings, while Wang Sai Waterfall provides an inland option.

The accommodation comprises two Standard room types, each measuring 25 m² and sleeping up to two people. The Standard Double Room has one double bed; the Standard Twin Room has two single beds. Both provide air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower, a flat-screen television with cable channels, a refrigerator, desk and wardrobe, so the main distinction is the sleeping arrangement rather than the size or equipment.

Free toiletries and a toilet are also provided in each private bathroom. The straightforward layout suits couples or two travellers who prefer separate beds, while the identical floor area makes the options easy to compare. A refrigerator gives you space for drinks or snacks, and the wardrobe and desk add storage and a work surface. Each room has the same two-person capacity.

Free public parking is available on site, and WiFi is free in the rooms. Air conditioning, private bathrooms, showers, toilets and free toiletries cover the main in-room conveniences. Wardrobes provide storage, desks give you a work surface, and refrigerators offer space for drinks or snacks. Flat-screen televisions with cable channels and internet services are also part of the facilities.

For getting around and arranging outings, the resort has bicycle rental, a shuttle service and a tour desk. Laundry is available during your stay. The combination of these services supports both independent trips around the island and help with excursion arrangements. After time outdoors, you can return to an air-conditioned room with a private bathroom, cable television and the practical storage and refrigeration facilities included in both room types.

Maehaad Guesthouse is in Haad Salad on Koh Phangan’s west coast, where beach access and reef activities shape a stay. Haad Mae Haad is 200 m away, and Haad Thong Lang is 800 m from the resort. Koh Ma is a nearby landmark for snorkelling, joined to the shore by a sandbar at low tide. Local shops and eateries are part of the quiet surroundings guests appreciate.

Thong Sala, the island’s main port town, is about 9.6 km from the resort, while the drive from Thong Sala Pier takes around 30 minutes. Shared songthaews connect the port with Haad Salad, and scooter hire is common across the island. The resort also has a shuttle service and free public parking on site. Travellers arriving through Koh Samui Airport need to continue to a ferry pier and cross to Thong Sala before making the road journey north; Koh Phangan has no airport of its own.

Wang Sai Waterfall is 400 m away, with Coral Reef 550 m away and Koh Ma 650 m away. Paradise Waterfall is 3.7 km away, while Baan Chaloklum is a fishing village on the island’s north coast. February to April is generally the driest, calmest period in the Gulf; October to December brings the wettest weather and rougher seas, especially on the east coast. Beach walks and snorkelling suit calmer spells, while inland sights give you another outing when sea conditions change.
