If you’re in your 20s and enjoy vibrant nightlife, clubs, and late-night parties, then Chaweng is the ideal destination for you. Known for its energetic atmosphere, Chaweng offers an array of nightclubs, beach bars, and entertainment options that cater to a younger crowd looking for excitement and fun.

On the other hand, if you’re a bit older and prefer a more laid-back and relaxed environment, then Lamai is perfect. Lamai is known for its more tranquil setting, beautiful beaches, and a slightly slower pace. It’s an excellent choice for those who enjoy quieter evenings, charming local restaurants, and a more serene ambiance.

Explore Fisherman’s Village, Bangrak, and Chaeng Mon for more options and variety in your island experience.

Lamai it is! You can check out the Acoustic Cafe on Koh Samui Island, located on Leam Sor Beach. Don’t miss the disc golf at Dave and Pawn’s!

Lamai all the way! In our late 40s, we prefer Lamai over Chaweng. We come back here every year, finding Chaweng too busy and Fisherman’s Village overpriced.

Chaweng is the go-to destination for the best beach experience, hotels, restaurants, and bars.
