Lamai Beach — Koh Samui’s Laid-Back Hotspot
Lamai Beach is the second most popular beach on Koh Samui, offering a slightly quieter alternative to bustling Chaweng. Known for its golden sands, swimmable waters, and lively yet relaxed atmosphere, Lamai appeals to both families and solo travelers.
While staying in Lamai is a great option, many visitors choose to base themselves in Bangrak — at 79 Beach Club & Resort — for its unmatched convenience to multiple beaches, including Lamai. From our location, you can enjoy the calm of Bangrak and take easy day trips to Lamai for exploration.

From street food vendors to fine dining, Lamai offers plenty of food options — but if you want upscale beachfront dining, 79 Beach Club is the place to start or end your day. - Beach Activities
Try paddleboarding, jet skiing, or beach volleyball, all available along the shore. - Lively Nightlife (Without the Chaos)
Bars and beach clubs keep the evenings fun without the all-night party vibe of Chaweng.
