Discover the Overlap Stone: A Historical Gem of Ko Samui

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from the center of Lamai, make your way to the main road, which is called the Lamai Beach Road (also known as Route 4169). Walk south along this road towards the direction of Hua Thanon. After approximately 1 kilometer, look for a sign indicating 'Overlap Stone' on your left. You will need to walk up a small hill from the road to reach the stone, which is located at coordinates 9.4596926 latitude and 100.0301346 longitude.

• Motorbike Taxi

  You can hire a motorbike taxi from anywhere in Lamai. Just ask the driver to take you to the Overlap Stone. The fare should be around 100-150 THB depending on your starting point. The driver will take you as close as possible to the site, where you may need to walk a short distance to reach the stone itself.

• Bicycle Rental

  Consider renting a bicycle from one of the many rental shops in Lamai. Once you have your bike, head south along the Lamai Beach Road towards Hua Thanon. After about 1 kilometer, look for the sign for Overlap Stone on your left. You can park your bicycle at the base of the hill and walk up to the stone.

• Local Songthaew

  You can take a songthaew, a shared taxi truck, from various parts of Lamai. Look for one heading towards Hua Thanon. Inform the driver you want to go to Overlap Stone. The fare is usually around 30-50 THB. The songthaew will drop you off near the entrance, from which you will need to walk a short distance up the hill to the stone.
