About this event

Lamai Sunday Walking Street, also called the Lamai Jai Dee Walking Street (jai dee means kind-hearted), fills Lamai Beach Road every Sunday evening. The road is closed to traffic between the fresh market and the bridge in the north-eastern part of town, and stalls take over the tarmac. Hotels.com lists it from late afternoon, around 16:30, until about 22:00.

Clothes, handicrafts and souvenirs are on sale, but the guides stress the food: corn on the cob, pad thai, kebabs, pizza, barbecued seafood and cocktails. Items are described as inexpensive, which makes it a place for small gifts and a street-food dinner. Lamai is on the south-east coast of Koh Samui. The Sunday listing in our data gives only the day and the evening, while the hotel guide gives the half-hour opening time, so treat the start time as approximate and check close to the day.

Markets on Koh Samui

Samui's night markets rotate through the week. Fisherman's Village in Bophut closes its main street on Fridays, the biggest night, with smaller editions on Monday and Wednesday. Maenam holds a short walking street on Thursdays from about 17:00, where parking is easiest before 18:00. Lamai closes Beach Road on Sunday afternoons until about 22:00. Chaweng has a night market most evenings, and Nathon's market near the pier starts around 16:00 and is mostly local. Go hungry: grilled seafood, corn and noodles are the standard stalls, and clothes and souvenirs fill the rest.

Around Lamai

Lamai is Samui's second beach town, on the south-east coast. Its evenings centre on Lamai Beach Road, where bars play reggae and rock, some with live bands, and a night plaza operates on several evenings a week. On Sundays the road is closed to traffic for the Lamai Walking Street, open from about 16:30 until 22:00, with clothes, handicrafts and street food. The Hin Ta and Hin Yai rock formations are at the southern end of the beach and are known for views across the sea to nearby islands.
