Lamai Beach
Best time to visit
Early morning offers calm water and cooler temperatures, ideal for swimming and photos. Late afternoon and sunset bring colorful skies and a lively night market atmosphere.
Budget tips
Beach access is free, no entry fees; rent a sunbed farther from the main strip to save money and bring your own towel for extra savings. Eat at Lamai night market and use songthaews or a rented scooter instead of taxis to cut transport costs.

About
Greiti faktai: Pale, powdery sand stretches for roughly 1.5 kilometers, creating a long curved beach that's perfect for evening strolls and shell hunting. A lively mix of beach bars, seafood shacks and a weekend market means you can go from spicy papaya salad to live acoustic music in under ten minutes, and snorkeling near the rocky outcrops reveals bright little coral pockets.
Svarbiausi dalykai: Two peculiar rock formations known locally as Hin Ta and Hin Yai rise right from the shoreline, their shapes sparking folklore and countless sunset selfies as the tide laps around them. Street vendors often sell grilled corn and fresh coconut for about 40 to 80 baht while local storytellers recount an over-100-year-old tale of star-crossed lovers tied to the rocks, so golden hour here feels like stepping into a seaside legend.
Insider tips
- Wear reef shoes when swimming near the rocky ends of the bay to protect your feet.
- Best photo spot is the rocky outcrop by Hin Ta Hin Yai for sweeping coastline shots at sunrise or sunset.
- Skip pricier beachfront restaurants and walk two blocks inland for cheaper, authentic Thai food.
- Avoid weekend crowds by visiting early weekday mornings or late afternoon when day-trippers have left.
