Driving To Ko Samet

[Sir_Sanuk]

Can anyone recommend a safe and convenient place to leave your car in Ban Phe for a few days while visiting Ko Samet?

Thanks for any info.

There are any number of manned parking places along the seafront I just used to pick one close to the boat peir and never experienced any problems. Mind you that was back in the 90's, I haven't been to Koh Samet since due to it's decline into just an extension of the garbage tip known as Thailand.

I park at Nuan thip pier, it seems safe enough. Its 80B per day and it apperas that the attendants have a small bungalow right there (for what thats worth). Its shaded with green cloth, so most of yr car will at least be outa the sun. I have an alarm but i still use a steering lock for peace of mind

cheers

Thanks for the info, will head towards that pier and try to find a spot without getting ripped off.

Last time I drove through there some guys on motorbikes saw my BKK license plate and started asking me if I wanted speed boat, etc etc while I was still driving. Quite annoying to say the least.

Cheers.
