Hello, all the ATM's here in Lamai increase to 350 thb fees.

But if you withdraw with CC it's only 220 thb.

I recommend bringing more cash if you go to Koh Samui, because many places are cash only or extra charge for CC.

Another tip: exchange your money at their local bank like Krungsri and not those exchange shops in the main street.

At the main street it was 1 euro = 35 thb

But at the local bank it was 1 euro = 37.5 thb

So a better rate. Some do need to show passport or ID for this.

Enjoy! I love it here.

Hi all,

I'm in Lamai and noticed sometimes brown comes out of tap water with black specks. If I let it run, it clears.

I will not drink it, but I do shower. Is it dangerous for the skin or eyes?

Thank you for the help. Maybe it's normal here, or the resort is not good.
