Lamai Beach Events Calendar 2027

What is on around Lamai Beach and the rest of Koh Samui in January and February 2027.

Keeping up with new announcements

Samui events are often announced only a few weeks ahead, especially beach-club nights and one-off festivals. The most reliable places to watch are the organiser pages linked in each entry above, the TAT Koh Samui office, and the resort and beach-club event calendars. We update these pages as new dates are confirmed.
