Laem Yai Beach Information Guide
On the northwest headland of Koh Samui, on a hillside that slopes down to the crystal blue sea, Laem Yai beach represents a unique holiday destination. The area has 420 meters of beach frontage, and that ‘aint bad. The views take in sunrise and sunset, miraculously, and perfectly embrace the vista of neighbouring island, Koh Phangnan. Laem Yai beach is quietly removed – 800 meters – from the ring road and is 13km to Chaweng, about 30 minutes drive, and the same again to Koh Samui International Boutique Airport.
Laem Yai Beach is hooked up with running water and electricity et all, but it’s very basic in terms of additional infrastructure. The appeal of the place is this raw proximity to untouched nature. It’s an experience that’s becoming harder and harder to find on the island and the throughout the kingdom.
Laem Yai might be what you’re looking for if you’re after lazy and undisturbed days in the sun, and reflective nights under the stars. You’ll get a lot of contemplation done here. It will help you rejuvenate your spirits, and send you back to the modern world with renewed appreciation.
