About Lamai

A wide crescent beach town suited to travellers wanting amenities without intense nightlife.

Lamai offers a deep, sandy beach backed by enough restaurants and shops to keep you comfortable, while remaining quieter than neighbouring Chaweng. You can walk along the main beach road, though renting a scooter helps for exploring the island. Pick it if you want a straightforward beach holiday, but skip it if you prefer complete silence or dense late-night clubs.

Getting there: Songthaew trucks run along the main ring road.
Watch out for: Most rain falls between October and December.
