I'm hoping to go to Ko Samet for a couple of days only but was wondering which is a good beach and easy to get to from the landing point from the Ban Phe landing point.

Any contact numbers of decent beach bungalows with air con (there will be 6 of us plus one toddler) would be appreciated.

Thanks...Slippery

from the Map , "Na Dan" = main peir ..then u take a pick-up taxi (sharing from there to other beach)

-Hat Sai Keaw (white sand beach) is too crowdy with tourist ,especially Thai (before you reach this baech, you will see 7-11 minimart ..better buy some stuff there , coz price is not diff than main land)..personally i dont like this beach coz noisey and crowdy

pro 's

-you can find many bungalows /restuarant

-nice white fine sand on the beach

con's

chaos

Ao Pai less crowdy , beach is shorter but at"silver sand " in night time has party +dance

Ao wong deun - you can catch the baot here also

Ao wai and other beaches (more and more quiet)

Ao Kui - hi so beach with expensive resort as "paradee" room 10 000-30000 + buid in jacuzzi in front of the room ...i went there 1 time, ( just take a look )

Ao proa - this one is Hi-So beach .. expensive room ,beach is ok ..the beach is quiet .. i went and rest at Ao Prao resort (this beach has plenty urchin ..night mare for me) ..

well - depends on whats kind of life style you like and about your budget ..for me "Ao Pai" is pretty fun 4 me

other trick , avoid the north beach(as ao noi na) coz the opposite side = main land , bad scenery

The best beach for family and kids is Hat Sai kaew. you can also walk to the 7/11 from this beach if you need to buy something or use an ATM.

Is this in the right forum???

Don't go to Samet, there's lots of islands down here that are MUCH better!!

1. Koh Samet: you're right. Koh Samet is on the other side of the Gulf and south of Pattaya,

2. Please more info what you have in mind; apart from Phuket that is of course. Would like to hear your opinion.

What about the summertime....July/August ? You have some advise where to be ? (I know, it's off-season)

thanks

My school took us to Sattahip for our annual school camp, and we went to Koh Samet on a day trip. We went into the water and there were fluffy floaties. Ew. We ran out pretty quickly.
