Situated along Lamai Beach Road, this open-air night market is a popular evening fixture for both tourists and locals on Koh Samui. Beyond the casual clothing, beachwear, souvenirs, and handicrafts on offer, the market is equally known for its street food scene — vendors cook to order from fresh selections of local fish, meat, vegetables, and fruit, making it as much a dining destination as a shopping stop. On Saturday nights, Muay Thai boxing at the nearby Lamai Beer Plaza adds a distinct energy to the surrounding area. Sunday nights are widely considered the liveliest, when the market expands noticeably and the crowds, variety of stalls, food options, and overall atmosphere are at their peak. By contrast, weeknights offer a quieter, more relaxed browse. Quality of food in particular draws favourable comparisons to larger markets elsewhere on the island, and a number of individual food stalls come recommended by repeat visitors. Good to know: The market runs seven days a week from 5 PM to 11 PM, so it fits easily into any evening itinerary. Cash is recommended as not all vendors accept cards. Light, comfortable clothing suits the warm, open-air setting. Arriving earlier in the evening means smaller crowds, while later hours bring a livelier atmosphere and fuller food options.
