Wat Lamai, or Lamai Temple, is an important cultural and spiritual site in Lamai, a popular area on Koh Samui, Thailand. This temple plays a central role in the community life of the locals and is known for its cultural events, especially during traditional festivals such as Songkran (the Thai New Year) and Loy Krathong.

In addition to being a place of worship, Wat Lamai is also home to a cultural and historical museum that provides insight into the history and traditions of Koh Samui. The museum displays various artifacts, photographs and tools that depict traditional life on the island.

The architecture of Wat Lamai is typical of Thai temple complexes, with ornate decorations and a tranquil, meditative environment. The complex offers a peaceful retreat from the often busy beach and tourist areas.

Visitors to Wat Lamai can experience the spiritual atmosphere of the temple, participate in cultural festivals and learn more about the history and culture of Koh Samui. It is a place of importance for both the local community and tourists.

The Wat Lamai is the main temple of the place of the same name Lamai and is located directly on the ring road on which you drive through the place (before a sharp bend). In addition to the temple buildings and many Buddhist statues, there is also a cultural hall on the site, in which funerals and weddings of the locals take place.

Furthermore, the Wat Lamai houses a folklore museum, where you can learn something about the past of Koh Samui. The entrance to the museum is guarded by two large “yaks”, so-called warriors. Inside you will find artefacts from different eras of the island that are up to 2,000 years old.
