A Sunday drive from Lamai to MaeNam shows off the east side of Koh Samui in this relaxed island road video. Filmed during the Samui Plus Sandbox period, it follows the island road north through the quiet coastline communities that connect the beach towns of Samui.
The East Side Route
The drive follows the island road from Lamai along the east side of Koh Samui up to MaeNam on the north coast. This stretch links several of the island's best known areas and gives a continuous, ground level view of the scenery, roadside businesses, and neighborhoods in between. It is an easy way to learn the island's geography from home.
Samui During Samui Plus
The video was filmed during the Samui Plus Sandbox, the program that let Phuket Sandbox travelers add Koh Samui to their trip. The island was in a rare quiet phase, and drive videos like this captured conditions that returning visitors found striking: open roads, empty viewpoints, and a slower version of Samui.
