Great market for food, people watching and just browsing. Lot of visitors enjoy this walking street night market with the assorted food choices. The Night Bazaar operates in Lamai most nights and has a dozen or so stalls selling generally food with the only BBQ stall, but also a pretty good further selection including fish and vegetarian options. It’s good …not large, but all well established.

Sightseeing
Beautiful pagoda situated in lovely, quiet location on the beach in the south of the island. Reminder to wear respectable clothing as it is a religious site. Laem Sor was built in 1907. In 1967 it was hit by lightening and rebuilt by hand in 2003.

There are 2 Namuang waterfalls. Muang in Thai means purple and is named so because of the purple rocks that form the falls.
Namuang Waterfall 1 is a beautiful 18m high waterfall and easily accessible by a short walk into the jungle from the parking area nearby. There is a lovely pool formed at the foot of the waterfall where you will find tourists and locals alike jumping off rocks and taking a dip to cool off.
Namuang Waterfalls are set in lush jungle surrounds, easily accessible just off the main ring road Route 4169 about halfway between Nathon and Lamai Beach.

Namuang Waterfall 2 is more impressive than Waterfall No 1, gushing from a height of 80m. What makes this waterfall so beautiful and picturesque is the jungle surroundings and the natural light penetrating the canopy. There is also 20m high fall twinned with the larger waterfall, with a pool suitable for swimming. It is only accessible by a trek through the jungle on foot or by elephant.
