    Lamai beach is a lot more quite and laid back compared to to Chaweng beaches hive of activity.
    However the resturants and beach service drinks is still close-by and so are the Jet-ski's if you want one.
    Also (as you can see in the photo) there are still sarong and cloths sellers walking up and down the beach just in case you get a sudden urge to buy something.
    There are less people around though when compared with Chaweng beach.
    It is a beautiful place to go for a relaxing swim though and in some places the water gets very deep quite quickly.

  • Address: Lamai beach.
  • Directions: Left from the main Lamai shops. If need be you can go though one of the beach-side bungalo's to get there like I did.

    Bo Phut, a little further long from Bug Buddha beach and much more peaceful than Chaweng. The village is beautiful and the beach is lovely. The sand is not as fine as on Chaweng and the sea is less shallow as there is a port here I think BUT you don't get the hassle, it's idyllic and very quiet. Have yourself a nice Thai massage on the beach while you're there too - perfect :)

    Koh Samui has some of the most beautiful beaches in Thailand. White powdery sand beaches.
    Lamai, Chaweng and Bophut are some of them. Don't miss any !

    A good way of seing the beaches and have a swim is to rent a motorbike and go round the island.

    if u like white soft sandy beach, clear blue sky, sweep by sea breeze... this is the perfect place designed for u.
    p/s: ignore the vendors if you want some peace of mind. but if you are really interested to buy some handicraft, weaving, bead necklace and even body art on ur body for temporary. you don't even have to raise you finger just take a glance at them and they will come to u as if u have cast a spell on them.

    First you can walk trough a garden and watch snakes, crocodiles and other reptiles. We saw how the crocodiles got there lunch. Very amusing hahaha!

    You really must see the snake and insect show here. You'll see people putting big insects (scorpions) in there mouth, pants and so on....

    They also show you snakes (including spitting cobras) and put snakes in the water, in their pants and so on. A man with a microphone comments the show and he is very funny.

    We went here by taxi. This way it's very easy to get there.
    -2 shows each day at 11:00 and 14:00 hrs.
    -Price: 250 Baht per person.

    Beachside Massage
    by joolea
    Its not expensive, it can be relaxing and its something good to experience. A thai massage is about 200baht, an oil massage 300baht. Oil massages are nice, plus I reckon less joint yanking n less awkward positions compared to the thai massage. pedis, manis, foot scrubbing all offered as well. Cheaper alternative to spas.

    When lying on the beach catching your tan, you will definitely be approached with offers of all types of clothes, fruit, and trinkets. Purchase what you want, but I have to suggest you buy the pineapple on a stick. As fresh a pineapple as I have ever had, they skin it and cut out all the knots in a spiral fashion, leaving only the good stuff. For less than a dollar, it is the perfect compliment to the sun's heat!

    Bophut Beach is the place for those who truly want to relax. The beach is not crowded at all but you still get the beautiful white sands and clear blue water. Here the water is much deeper and you can actually take a boat from its waters or go scuba diving. Also it is an ideal place to take a boat from to reach the Full Moon Party. Many great seafood restaurants right off of the beach, many with beachside decks to chill at. Also there is a beautiful old fisherman's village which is a nice place to spend an afternoon shopping and snooping around. There aren't many vendors to harass you here as Chaweng Beach.
