About Lamet Subdistrict
Lamet (เลม็ด) is a subdistrict in Chaiya District, Surat Thani. District public-health records identify seven villages in its administrative area.
Suan Mokkh, also known as Wat Than Nam Lai, is located in Lamet beside Highway 41. The district's account distinguishes this present site from its earlier location in Phum Riang. The monastery is a specific destination with its own meditation and visiting arrangements.
Na Luang is another local community, recorded by the Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre as associated with the traditional Hom Chaiya rice variety. Lamet therefore includes religious, village and farming settings; use the particular monastery or village address when planning a visit.
