Couples often find the central and southern parts of Lamai Beach ideal. You'll find a range of beachfront resorts offering direct access to the water, many with pools and dining options. The atmosphere is generally relaxed, with opportunities for quiet evenings by the sea or enjoying a meal at a beachfront restaurant.

For those looking for a slightly more secluded experience while still being close to the action, the southern end of Lamai Beach near the Hin Ta Hin Yai rocks provides a more tranquil setting.
When is the best time to go to Lamai?
The best time to visit Lamai is during the dry season, which runs from December to February, offering pleasant weather for your trip.
