Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

This open-air food court in Lamai is the heart of Koh Samui's evening dining scene. Here you'll find a variety of independent food stalls where visitors can sample different Thai dishes without having to commit to a specific menu. Open daily from 5 pm to midnight, the food court attracts locals and tourists alike, who are looking for an affordable and convenient meal after a day exploring the island.

Expect a relaxed, lively atmosphere with music from nearby bars. The stalls offer a good selection of Thai classics and fresh seafood, all freshly prepared and reasonably priced. One particularly popular vendor is Nois Foodtruck, a favorite among regulars. There's a drinks stand right on site, but some reviewers point out that drinks are also available at the Family Mart on the corner behind the stalls, which is often cheaper.
