Lamai Beach is Samui's second-largest resort area after Chaweng. It's quieter and less bustling than its big sister, but still with plenty of accommodation, dining and shopping options, and some great spas and tourist sites to explore. 

Lamai has slightly older, and often cheaper, tourist facilities than Chaweng with a laid back atmosphere, although the area is being rejuvenated. Along with the rest of Samui, there's a steady trend away from the 'cheap and cheerful' toward smarter, high-end accommodation and dining facilities in Lamai.
