Koh Samet - Parking On The Mainland

[William Osborne]

Driving down to Koh Samet from Patts next week and wondering if there are 'safe' parking facilties near the ferry ? or better to just get a taxi ?

Also, anyone recommend a hotel or double bugalow ... in price range of about 1500 b per couple.

cheers

Park at the Wong Duan ferry car park at B40 a day. Safe & easy. Last visit we liked Tom Pizza's bungalows (air/con, fridge, clean) at about B1500+/- Large flat clean beach and choice of restauarnts etc. It's an island so meals can seem somewhat expensive but .......

I usually park at the east most pier, AFAICR around 40 Baht per day. (GPS 12.628623,101.44321). Safe, as in that they do have a security guard on site, and so far I’ve not had any problems.

However last time I went that lot was full, so ended up parking pretty much across the street, think the charged me 80 per day there.

Last few times I’ve stayed at Samed Villa Resort, great semi quiet place south of white sand beach, but still within short walking distance if you want to head up to white sand.

Newer bungalows, good breakfast buffet and pleasant staff.
