If you are looking for a relatively quiet, laid back holiday destination with a peppering of history, culture and architecture then Lamai Beach provides the ideal location for a rented serviced apartment of holiday letting.

This lovely resort region is situated on the east coast of Ko Samui in Thailand and here you can enjoy the beautiful palm fringed, crescent beach with it’s soft, white sand and clear blue waters ideal for jet skiing, windsurfing and parasailing. The vendors will keep you topped up with plenty of food, refreshments, beachwear and even jewellery. Make sure you try the Thai papaya salad, it’s really refreshing, and don’t forget to grab a massage while you’re here or give yourself a trendy new look with a henna tattoo or a pretty hair braid.

A stroll through the town will take you to Wat Lamai Temple. This lovely temple often hosts fairs that can run for up to a week and are well worth a look. You will be able to enjoy plenty of fairground fun, delicious food and even an outdoor cinema. If you take a wander through the temple you can view some fantastic artefacts from the Samui region as well as an ancient ceremonial drum that was excavated at a Lamai village and has been dated at around 2000 years old.

Your serviced residence or aparthotel in Lamai Beach also gives you access to Wat Khunaram. This temple houses a somewhat grizzly sight and is perhaps not the ideal place for the kids but is well worth a visit for an insight into this region’s culture. Here you will find the mummified body of the famous Samui monk, Loung Pordaeng. This poor chap passed away 20 years ago and his body has been kept here in a glass coffin ever since. He is still remarkably well preserved. An interesting place to visit.

If you take a stroll through Walking Street on a Sunday you will find numerous activities and attractions for the kids, and you, to enjoy as well as plenty of stalls selling a wide variety of produce. The ideal opportunity to stock up on those all important holiday souvenirs.

Your apartment rental or holiday let in Lamai Beach is within close proximity of the Rock Bar. This basic bar is made from bamboo and situated on it’s own little beach, surrounded by rocks. Grab some fabulous Thai food and a drink or two and sit on the rocks and enjoy a spectacular sundowner. If you are brave enough you can even get a bamboo tattoo whilst you are here. A really buzzing little bar in a fantastic location that you will want to return to time and time again.
