Bophut is really has two places; Bophut beach, which located several kilometres between Big Buddha and Maename beachs and the charming Fisherman's Village which is on the middle section of the beach.
Fisherman's village is lined with traditional Chinese, wooden shop house. The modern buildings here blend in nicely and certainly don't spoil the traditional feel to the place. Bophut Beach itself spans about two mile, this beach is quieter than the beaches on the Koh Samui Island.
Lamai Beach is located in south of Chaweng beach. The beach isn't long, the off-white sand isn't as fine and not much restaurants and bars same with the range of quality from Chaweng. That's why the cheaper guesthouses and resorts can be found at this area. The beach has three distinct areas, the north is quieter with less development but good for relaxation. The center and southern have more development and both areas have a lot of activities.
The good attraction place at Lamai beach is Hin-Ta Hin-Yai, Grand mother Grand father rocks. Which is the unique shape of rocks on the beach. This place are well known and don't be miss from the Samui Tour's plan
Overall if you're prefer to stay on beach without spending more money, Lamai beach can be a choice.
