This Thailand itinerary includes a small island, Koh Samet, and a three-day trip by car from Bangkok. Transportation: From Bangkok, you can choose to take a bus or minibus from Ekkamai Bus Terminal to Koh Samet for a round trip of 120 yuan (about 45 minutes one way, with the last bus at 17:00), and a speedboat for a round trip of 300 yuan (about 15 minutes one way, with the last bus at 17:00).

Accommodation on Koh Samet by the sea with beautiful views and comfortable beds.

A popular resort on Koh Samet located on Sai Kaew Beach. Anyone who stays here will not be disappointed❗❗ 🛖The room styles include wooden house and minimalist styles. We chose to stay in the minimalist style. The room is decorated with a white tone, making it easy on the eyes. There is a sitting area in front of the room. There is also a restaurant and cafe zone for chilling out. It's an all-in-one place. At night, there are fire juggling activities. And the must-see spot is the beachfront decorated with a Bali vibe. The sand is white and fine, the water is clear, and the sky is beautiful. 📍For photography enthusiasts, minimalists, and cafe lovers, this place is a must-visit.

Review of Baan Ploy Sea, Koh Samet, new zone house

The highlight of Baan Ploy Sea that we remember from the first time we saw it is the orange swimming pool located by the sea We have stayed here once before At that time, there were only a few rooms But now they have opened a new zone We slept in the Jungle Deluxe Room Let me tell you that this zone is not by the sea The location of this place is near the pier. Taking a car from the pier is very close. If we come to stay with a hotel in the Samed Resorts group, pin and drive to Ao Prao Pier, a pier for guests of the hotel in the group. They have a parking service at the pier (parking fee is included in the promotion price) and the parking is very good, safe, with people taking care of it 24 hours a day, including a round-trip boat, a shuttle bus from the pier on the island to the accommodation, and it's all done without any hassle #เที่ยวเจอนี #baanploysamed #baanploysea #kohsamet #samedresortsgroup #เที่ยวระยอง

On the beaches of Koh Samet, the white sand meets the blue sea, and the waves churn under the sunlight, shimmering and breathtakingly beautiful.

My first trip in Koh Samed😁

This is my first journey in Koh Samed, Rayong. Me and my friends went to Koh Samed last October. The weather was nice and freaking hot but we enjoyed it tho. We were there only 2 days 1 night but the time we spent together was so precious and no regret at all. There are many beaches to go to and many activities to join, you can go swimming, scuba diving, or joining other activities you want. There are many restaurants and cafes along the street or the beaches, you can choose to walk or you can rent the motorcycle there. There are both Thai and foreigners, people in the island are really nice. In the evening, you can enjoy with seafood at restaurants along the beaches. There are also bars to chill while drinking some beverages or drinks. Me and my friends enjoyed ourself at the hotel and we went for star and comet watching outside. That’s was a really memorable trip for me, I’ll comeback there again if I have a chance. If you’re looking for a nice beach, I bet Koh Samed is one of the best choices for you🫶😁#เกาะเสม็ด #เที่ยวเกาะเสม็ด #เที่ยวระยอง #kohsamed

Out Island Day Tour from Ko Samat

600 BAHT per person for a day tour out island. We waited at one of the shops at the beach at 11am. Took the speed boat 🚤 from the other side of the island. Firstly, we got on one of the outbound islands for buying the national nature ticket. Stayed for half an hour and went to the second island for lunch. We spent the time there with some swimming and walking on the floating platform. Then we got on-board and went to the last island where we did snorkeling for around 2 hours. Kids can also do snorkeling. The tour guide would prepare the snorkeling kits for each person. But bare in mind that do not leave any of the parts on the island because it is violating the nature policy. At last, we went back at around 4pm. It is a nice experience.

Exotic Island in the East of Thailand 🏝️

Now that the pandemic has cooled down and the strict requirement of presenting an ATK result has been canceled, many travellers will choose Ko Samet or Samet Island as their weekend getaway again. This island is actually a part of Rayong province not far from the well-known city of Pattaya. It's around 2 hours and 45 minutes drive from Bangkok. I usually go to Nuanthip Pier at Baan Phe to get a ferry ride to the island. A round trip ticket will cost you 120 baht for the slow boat. But you can choose to go on a shared speed boat ride for 300 baht. This island has many cool night clubs, but the most popular one should be the iconic Silver Sand Bar at Ao Phai. Go there on a long weekend and you'll see what I mean. #celebratewithtrip #thailand #island #beachlife

A beachy getaway

Koh Samed Island Koh Samed Island is 45 minutes away from Bangkok. This island is frequent by locals hence you will experience leaser travellers from other countries. Expense wise is also lower compared to Koh Samui. Travellers can get a mini bus transport from Ekkamai Bus Station. You are to go to Rayong Ferry Terminal by mini bus then purchase a ferry ticket (you have an option to go by speedboat or normal ferry service) the difference is pricing and time. Nonetheless, after so much time of travelling, you will experience white sandy beaches, friendly locals and awesome thai food. I would suggest you rent a motorbike (license required) and travel around the island by bike, see different beaches and experience the views. Island hopping and snorkelling is also encouraged. Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #CelebrateWithTrip #beachlife #thailand #bangkok

Getting There -From Bangkok we went to Ekkamai Bus terminal and buy our ticket there on the spot. Attractions - The bus will drop you off at Nadan Pier and from that pier you need to Kon samet Island. Hotels - We stayed at Tubtim Resort Lovin it because its near the beach. Food & Restaurants - The hotel has their own restaurant but if you want to try more option also you can walk around 5-15 mins around there are plenty of restaurant 😊 #kohsamet #travelthailand #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #beachlife

Koh Samet is a picturesque island worth falling in love with - its fine sand, clear, turquoise water, exotic nature, tropical rainfall, especially romantic and cozy.

Sea, Sand and Sun

“Ko Samet” is so popular with foreign tourists and as a weekend getaway for residents of nearby Bangkok, Thailand. #island #beachvacation #beaches #summervacation #beachlife

The gem of Rayong Province

Koh Samet, named after the abundant ‘Samet' trees (Thai for cajeput trees), offers all of the vital aspects of a fun-filled holiday escape – an unending expanse of turquoise blue sea, crescent coves with fine white sand, plenty of water sports, and a pulsing nightlife. Despite the fact that Koh Samet receives substantially less rainfall than other Thai resorts, travelers are soaked. The island, which is only a three-hour drive from Bangkok and 45 minutes by ferry from the mainland's Ban Phe Pier, is generally busy with people on weekends and long holidays. From seaside bungalows to cliff-top luxury resorts, a wide selection of lodgings appeal to a diverse range of travelers. #easylife#nationalpark#seasidephotoguide#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

Koh Samet is one of the tourist destinations in Rayong Province. From Bangkok (Mo Chit Bus Terminal) you make take mini van to Rayong and then hop a ferry going to Koh Samet. I highly suggest to go here than in Pattaya. #seasidephotoguide#naturalwonders

Popular with foreign tourists and as a weekend getaway for residents of nearby Bangkok. About 3 hours drive from Bangkok. Fantastic food, massage on the beach, clean water. Bars at night are also awesome. You can find some quiet spot if you walk deepper into island. Beach is still clean. #merrychristmas #merrychristmas
