Lamai night market is a fun place to go shopping in Samui, with plenty of typically souvenirs like T-shirts, carved ornaments, and cheap jewellery. There are also a lot of branded goods of questionable authenticity, which are best avoided.

In the centre of town, diagonally opposite McDonald's and leading to a square surrounded by beer bars, you'll find a night market that has a lot of similarities with Bangkok's Patpong but on a smaller scale.

Address: Lamai Centre, 139/24 Koh Samui, Surat Thani 84310, Thailand
Open: Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 5 pm to 10 pm
