Lamai Travel Information Guide

Lamai’s waters are calmer thanks to an offshore reef. Nevertheless Lamai beach benefits from crystal clear waters and pristine white sand.  Lamai offers everything that Chaweng has, but the crowd is younger and less well groomed. Behind the beachroad you will find great shopping and a girly-bar strip that caters to the young market.

However, Lamai also offers a great selection of restaurants and dining venues. Everything from inexpensive thai eateries on the street to fine dining in the various hotels and resorts.

Along the beach strip you can choose from a good choice of watersports activities including daily boat trips to the neighbouring islands, sailing and waterskiing. As in Chaweng, the growing trend of jetskies has found its place on the beach in Lamai.

Like anywhere on the island, you can enjoy a visit or two to the many spas and health retreats in  Lamai. One of the first day spas established in Samui is located in Lamai.  For those who wish to experience more that just a rejuvenating massage, there are health retreats offering yoga, reiki and detox programes as well.
