Where can I find the Lamai Walking Street?

Every Sunday from 5.00 P.M. to 11.00 P.M. the Lamai Walking Street takes place along Haad Lamai Road. This is the road that runs through the town as Lamai Beach Road. The start is right on the large ring road of Samui, where you can also park your scooter. Sufficient parking spaces for scooters and cars are also available for a small fee of 10 or 40 baht.

What can you buy on Lamai Walking Street?

Just everything. Of course, that’s a bit exaggerated, but it’s almost true. The Lamai Walking Street consists of countless stalls and the Haad Lamai Road mainly awaits visitors with clothing, souvenirs, accessories, tech, and many other things.

The parallel street mainly offers stands dedicated to Thai cuisine, but there are also various other delicacies here. From German sausages, kebabs, Paninis, grilled fish to satay skewers, but also Pad Thai, fried insects, glass noodle salads – you can enjoy yourself here on the market and try many things.

Furthermore, there are also some restaurants, bars or the mobile cocktail stands with cheap and delicious drinks. You probably shouldn’t eat elsewhere beforehand, but save your appetite a little bit if you want to visit this market.

Unfortunately, there isn’t too much seating on Lamai Walking Street. That means you either eat while walking or take the food with you as take away. Then you can eat it at your hotel or you can settle down at one of the mobile cocktail bars, order a drink and then eat the food right there at the tables.
