Why go

The free one. A bend on the hill road above Lamai where the whole bay opens up below — coconut roofs, the reef line, the headland at Hin Ta & Hin Yai — with no gate and no ticket.

What you will find

There is room for two or three vehicles on the verge and nothing else: no stall, no railing, no shade. That is the trade against Overlap Stone, which charges but gives you a terrace and a coffee.

Good to know

Park properly off the road; it is a blind corner.

Worth knowing before you go

It is a blind corner on a narrow road. Park fully off the tarmac and step out on the uphill side.

Valentine Stone

A heart-shaped rock on the same hillside, put on the map by couples and kept there by the view behind it.

Overlap Stone

Two boulders balanced on each other in the hills above Lamai, with a terrace looking down the whole south-east coast. A small fee gets you through the gate.

Cobra Stone Viewpoint

A hundred metres from Overlap Stone, a rock shaped like a raised snake's head and a second, wider terrace over Lamai bay.
