A Guide to Koh Samet: Travel, Beaches, Attractions, Hotels

Koh Samet is a small island located in the Gulf of Thailand, off the coast of the province of Rayong. The island is just 7 kilometers long and 4 kilometers wide.

Samet (pronounced locally as Samed) is a popular tourist destination known for its stunning beaches, clear waters, and lush tropical scenery. As a small island there aren’t many attractions, but there is plenty of opportunity for beach-time, snorkeling, kayaking, boat trips and other sea-sports.

Samet is easy and affordable to get to from Bangkok, and its proximity from the Big Mango has made it a popular weekend getaway for local Thais.

Despite getting pretty crowded in high season, Koh Samet still retains its natural beauty and a very chilled atmosphere.

It’s certainly worth visiting, so let’s dig down a little further on how to get there, what to do, and where to stay, etc.
