Lamai
The island's second-largest beach and second most popular investment area after Chaweng. Mature tourism infrastructure with meaningfully lower entry prices than the northeast; net rental returns of 6–8% achievable for well-managed properties. Obvious gap in current coverage, which is entirely north/northeast-coast.
