Lamai is not family oriented. I don't remember seeing any families there at all. Saw lots of them in Chaweng.
As for the BGs there in Lamai, a lot of other BMs and some of my friends that I talked to, had the same take on the girls there. Very nice and friendly, and never asked for more than a 1000 Baht, but an awful lot of "ugly" girls. But that was before the tsunami, when things were a lot slower there, in 2004. So, it may have changed a bit since then, with many people going to Samui instead of Phuket, or it may be a case of different perceptions. There are some girls who I don't find attractive at all, who I have noticed that other guys think are pretty hot stuff, and vice versa.
Still, all in all, unless things have changed a whole lot, there was a unmistakable difference in how good-looking the girls in Patong were, compared to the girls in Lamai. And I went around to every single bar in Lamai, and there are probably well over a hundred bars in a very small town there. If you took Bangla, and all the sois off Bangla and lined them up like it was just one long street, then Lamai is a little bit like that, with shops, restaurants and hotels thrown in along the way.
Even the girls in Chaweng, which BTW seemed more family-oriented than Lamai, were noticeably better looking than the ones in Lamai. Much more competiton, but for better-looking girls IMHO.

P.S. If the girls in Lamai have come up to the level of the Patong BGs, then I will definitely be spending a lot more time in Samui, as I really liked the beaches and laid-back feeling there. I finished my Songran 2004 trip there in May. At the time I was really liking Lamai much better than Patong, but when I returned at New Year's, I went back to Patong, mainly because of better-looking girls there, and because I don't like the way the bars are all on one long, long street(more or less) in Lamai, which makes for an awful lot of walking back and forth. But I like the small town feel of Lamai. Patong seems to be getting bigger and bigger and losing that small town feel.
