Crystal Bay Yacht Club Live Beach Cam, Lamai, Koh Samui

Crystal Bay Yacht Club, Lamai — Live from Koh Samui, Thailand (24/7, 4K)

You're looking at Silver Beach — Haad Thong Takhian in Thai — a small 250-metre cove on the east coast of Koh Samui, in the Gulf of Thailand. The camera sits on the hillside at Crystal Bay Yacht Club and looks north along the sand, so the beach curves away from you to the left and the bay closes on a green headland to the right.

This is a live, real-time view. Nothing here is a loop or a recording — what you see is happening right now, whatever time it is where you are.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

• The granite boulders in the shallows — they're why people snorkel here
• Long-tail boats and kayaks drifting across the bay
• Swimmers and snorkellers around the rocks at either end of the beach
• The tide: the waterline moves several metres up and down the sand through the day, so the beach looks different every few hours
• Clouds stacking up over the Gulf before the afternoon rain
• At night the shot switches to a low-light view — mostly lights, outlines and the glow of the beach bar

WHAT TIME IS IT THERE?
Ko Samui runs on ICT (UTC+7), with no daylight saving.
• Sunrise: around 06:00–06:40
• Sunset: around 18:00–18:45
If the screen looks dark, it's simply night in Thailand — check back in a few hours, or leave it running and watch the sun come up over the bay.

THE SOUND
Live audio from the beach: surf, wind in the palms, and voices from the sand when it's busy. Turn it up if you want the ambience, mute it if you just want the view.

WEATHER AND SEASON
Tropical and warm all year — the sea stays around 28–30 °C.
• January to September: generally the driest, clearest months
• October to December: monsoon season on this coast, so expect short heavy downpours and rougher water
• If the picture goes grey, blurry or freezes, it's usually rain on the lens or a brief connection drop at the resort — the stream recovers on its own

GOOD AS BACKGROUND FOR
Work, study, reading, falling asleep, or just five minutes of somewhere else. It's a real place with real people on it — please keep comments respectful.

ABOUT THE SPOT
Crystal Bay is often called one of Koh Samui's prettiest small beaches:
white sand, clear water over a sandy bottom, and big round boulders at each end that give the cove its shape. The Yacht Club is a hillside resort of 45 villas in mature tropical gardens above the sand; the beach club below it serves food and drinks right on the shoreline.
