Laem Yai is a beach on the very northwest tip of the island of Ko Samui. If you're looking for a quiet, beautiful beach on otherwise hectic Ko Samui, this is it! It is beautiful at any time of day, however it is particularly noted as a place to watch the sun set over the ocean.
What makes this beach a hidden gem is the fact that it is relatively hard to find. You can use Google Maps for navigation, or follow these instructions:
Taxi from Chaweng: 600 baht. Recommend your own transport. Hire a motorbike or a 4 x 4.
Beautiful sunsets, shallow seas, and idyllic coconut palm-lined beaches await explorers.
Walk along the beach, take a kayak out on the ocean, chill.
There is a minimart nearby for snacks.
