Lamai Market is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking 84310, Thailand
Tucked away in the corner of the market is Big Fish – an amazing Thai cafe / restaurant the food is cooked to order so everything is very fresh. The food is cooked to your request so if you do not like spicy they will leave the spice out. Real authentic Thai food- very reasonably priced at under 100 bht a dish.
Amazing stretch of beach, safe to swim with plenty of activities to keep you occupied or hire a sun chair from one of the many accommodation places and laze the day away. Mr Jack sells cooked corn on the cob and fresh fruit and each item is only 60 Baht.We have stayed on Koh Samui many times however from now on we will be only staying on Lamai Beach.
Sunday nights are great, cheap cocktails, and live music. Loads of shopping but its the same stall owners that go and sell at fisherman’s village. We still did a load of shopping. Loads of street food, smelt good but we didn’t try any. Heaps of pancake stalls and ice cream stalls, they were both delicious.
Interesting insight into Thai cuisine – not a single part of any animal is wasted – whilst not keen on eating food without refrigeration, it was still worthy of a visit to understand Thai culture. Be respectful and ask if you may take photos of their food.
Brilliant little market with all the stuff you get in other places, but seems a bit cheaper! perhaps it was the fact it was low season which bought the prices right down, but I wish I would have known and bought more stuff to bring home!!
Well worth a quick tour – very interesting little market – set back from the main road. It has about 60-80 stalls selling fresh produce and Thai meals. Wonderful colours and local characters. Lots of locals buying lunch or fresh broth or pastes to take home and cook their own meals
I really recommend visiting the street market, its great atmosphere with street performers. There is a road for the food market & then stalls for clothes, souvenirs etc. A lovely little walk out on a sunday night
During our time in Thailand we visited several markets and some are definitely better than others. I don’t doubt that the food is very fresh on the markets (as in the fish is freshly caught, the fruit & vegetables are sourced locally etc.) but notwithstanding the hot weather and set-up at this market, the overall hygiene was grim at this site, with fish drying in the sun covered in 100s of flies, open waste everywhere, random liquids running along the floor and just generally unpleasant, hence we chose not to buy anything here. Disappointing.
We have visited this market nearly every day and on the first day there were a good few stalls open but over the days… for example the mango and sticky rice woman wasn’t back there! The food stalls especially did some amazing peanut and chicken with rice… for 50 Bahts that’s about £1.25…decent portion for a very little bit of money
