Mae Haad

north-west tip, Koh Ma & the sandbar

Mae Haad sits on the north-western tip of the island and is best known for Koh Ma — a tiny islet joined to the beach by a natural sandbar at low tide, and the island's premier snorkelling spot inside a protected marine area. The water here is among the clearest on Phangan.

The community is small and oriented around diving, snorkelling, and a relaxed northern-beach lifestyle. The land market is limited; coastal positions are scarce and prized, while plots in the hills behind offer sea views over the bay.

Who buys here

Divers and snorkellers, sea-view buyers, and residents who want a striking beach and a small community over convenience. Typically second-time Phangan buyers.

What to expect

  • Flat at the shore, steep hills behind
  • Utilities available in the village
  • 30–40 min drive to Thong Sala
  • Best snorkelling on the island (Koh Ma marine area)
  • Scarce coastal plots — hillside sea-view plots more common
