Lamai Beach

Lamai Beach, located on the southeastern coast of Koh Samui, Thailand, competes with Chaweng Beach for the title of the island’s most picturesque. This less developed and more relaxed stretch of sand offers year-round swimming, particularly in its southern areas where fewer corals line the shore. The beach is notable for its unique granite rock formations, known as Grandmother and Grandfather, which add to its natural charm. As Lamai has grown in popularity, it has transitioned from a backpacker haven to a destination favored by resort-goers.
