Thinking of having a few days in Koh Samet in October and wonder if anyone has a suggestion for good accommodation? Don't want to spend much more than 1000 a night, and hoping for some nearby bars and beach. Any recommendations would be welcome. Thanks.

Off season you may get something for less than 1000 but not on the beach the best places are mostly on the beach and about 1200 to 1400 a night is what we paid, as I remember one was White Sands Hotel up near the statue thats on the beach.

OK that's not too expensive, thanks

Samet green inn 800-1000bt. Cable, air con, hot shower.

Not on beach! It's about 3 mins walk to Sai Kaew beach. It's on the right as you pay to get in the national park.

If your not bothered about air-con there are plenty of bungalows for under your budget

Toks little hut.

About 1200/night, brand new huts.

Word to the wise: do not buy your 'park pass' (or whatever it's called) before you arrive on the island. The fee is collected by the uniformed guys who meet the boat. Be sure to keep the little receipt they give you.

Some dodgy farang characters around the jetty may try to sell them to you before you get on the boat, don't fall for it.
