Lamai is a beach area on Koh Samui, with a sandy shore and a busy evening scene around its night market. Am Samui Palace Hotel is set among gardens, with an outdoor swimming pool and a library, and Lamai Beach is 200 m away. The gardens, with the outdoor pool and the poolside bar beside it, make a quiet place to end the day.

Hin Ta & Hin Yai Rocks, known as Grandma and Grandpa Rocks, are two rock formations near the shore and lie 1.5 km away. The Lamai Night Market, where food stalls and local goods are on sale in the evening, is close by, and Wat Lamai, a Buddhist temple, is also nearby. The Na Muang Waterfall lies 6 km away in the island's interior. Samui Airport is 9.6 km away, and taxi service and car hire are offered for getting around.

A full day could take in the Big Buddha, a large seated statue overlooking the sea and one of the best-known sights on the island, and then Fisherman's Village in Bophut, a seaside area. The Na Muang Waterfall makes a different kind of stop, so one day can cover both the coast and the interior of the island.
