Still, it takes some shifting when you arrive on the island from the mainland. The chaos (read: a busy street full of restaurants, music and traffic) is, to put it mildly, not the image you have of a protected nature reserve. But if you get beyond this part of the island, that is, more to the south, you soon see the other side of the island. The more green and lush side, the place you want to be.<\/p><p><em>Because the island is part of a protected natural park, you pay 200 baht to enter the island.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d908fae elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"38350\" data-id=\"d908fae\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-184b8de\" data-eae-slider=\"86843\" data-id=\"184b8de\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2f5ab8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b2f5ab8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Tips-Koh-Samet.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-66589\" alt=\"Tips Koh Samet\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Tips-Koh-Samet.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Tips-Koh-Samet-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The unique trees on the beaches of Koh Samet<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-473634f\" data-eae-slider=\"81542\" data-id=\"473634f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0982e2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0982e2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/End-Viewpoint-Koh-Samet.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-66590\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/End-Viewpoint-Koh-Samet.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/End-Viewpoint-Koh-Samet-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">End Viewpoint, Koh Samet<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-7c969ce e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"60079\" data-id=\"7c969ce\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47c690e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"47c690e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>What to do on Koh Samet: fun tips and activities<\/h2><p>Koh Samet is not a standard beach destination added to a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/en\/itinerary-thailand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tour of Thailand<\/a><\/strong>, but is definitely worth considering.

Discover the most beautiful beaches on Koh Samet<\/h3><p>For an island that is only 13 km2 in size, it offers a large number of beaches. There are 14 beautiful white sandy beaches to discover on Koh Samet and on many of these you will find green cajeput trees. This is also what the island is known for and also the name of the island is derived from this. Samet means cajeput in Thai.\u00a0<\/p><p>Whereas the beaches in the north are crowded and touristy, the beaches in the south are a lot more peaceful and idyllic. These are the most beautiful beaches to explore on Koh Samet:<\/p><ul><li><p>Ao Prao - the only beach on the west coast of the island and literally a paradise to spend the day;<\/p><\/li><li><p>Ao Karang - because the beach is so secluded, it is often very quiet. And because of the cajeput trees, there is a lot of shade, so it is great to be there;<\/p><\/li><li><p>Ao Wai - a beautiful bay with white sandy beach and rugged rocks at the far ends of the bay;<\/p><\/li><li><p>Ao Nuan - a small but very fine bay with a white sandy beach and clear blue sea water;<\/p><\/li><li><p>Ao Lung Dam - although this is not the most beautiful beach on the island, it belongs in the list because of its very cozy atmosphere;<\/p><\/li><li><p>Ao Tubtim - a beautiful white sandy beach and a good place to book a hotel for those who like to stay in a quiet area, but still want to be close to Koh Samet's nightlife.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-766cfa9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"25332\" data-id=\"766cfa9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b85d19b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b85d19b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>2.

Samet in Thailand<\/h2><p>The best travel time to visit Koh Samet is from October through April. Why? Because the temperature averages around 30 degrees, there is no rain and the sun shines all day long.\u00a0<\/p><p>The rainy season is in the months of July and August, but because Koh Samet has its own microclimate, there is little rainfall even during these months. Except for a hefty tropical downpour (lasting 15 minutes at most).\u00a0<\/p><p>Good to remember is that Koh Samet is a popular island among locals, especially those living in and around Bangkok. Therefore, it is a valuable tip to avoid weekends and holidays.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-947216f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"33551\" data-id=\"947216f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ca2447d\" data-eae-slider=\"42510\" data-id=\"ca2447d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0ac4ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a0ac4ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Getting to Koh Samet: how to get there<\/h2><p>By far most travelers who want to go to Koh Samet leave towards the island from Bangkok. At Ekkamai bus station, you can catch a direct bus to Ban Phe pier from where the ferry to the island departs. The bus ride takes about 3.5 to 4 hours. You can buy your ticket at the bus station or via <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/12go.com\/nl\/travel\/bangkok\/koh-samet\/?z=9350211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12GO's website<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p><p>Once at Ban Phe pier, you can choose to take the speedboat to the island or buy a ticket for the ferry. Remember that if you buy a ticket for the ferry you can choose between a single sailing or a round trip. Don't want to depend on the company and the times they sail? Then buy a ticket for just the crossing.<\/p><p>Are you on Koh Samet? Then there are jeep cabs waiting to take you to your hotel. For about 300 Baht you can join them to the other side of the island. This is good to know before you get in!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a10dd8b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"35211\" data-id=\"a10dd8b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b176268\" data-eae-slider=\"3197\" data-id=\"b176268\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4990b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d4990b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"902\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pier-Koh-Samet.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-66586\" alt=\"Pier Koh Samet\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pier-Koh-Samet.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pier-Koh-Samet-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The pier where the ferry docks<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e147c6e\" data-eae-slider=\"58494\" data-id=\"e147c6e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d7f62d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4d7f62d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"599\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Haven-vertrek-ferry-Koh-Samet.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-66585\" alt=\"Port departure ferry Koh Samet\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Haven-vertrek-ferry-Koh-Samet.jpg 900w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Haven-vertrek-ferry-Koh-Samet-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Haven-vertrek-ferry-Koh-Samet-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Haven-vertrek-ferry-Koh-Samet-600x399.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The port from which the ferry departs<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0948874 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"41087\" data-id=\"0948874\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-afb43a9\" data-eae-slider=\"2222\" data-id=\"afb43a9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a1d859 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6a1d859\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Traveling around Thailand: we would love to help you get started!<\/h2><p>After reading this article, you can no doubt enjoy a wonderful stay on the Thai island of Koh Samet.
