Highlights:
Koh Samet is a small island in the Gulf of Thailand, about 220 kilometers southeast of Bangkok. Koh Samet is now a national nature park, long and narrow from north to south. The east and west of the island are connected by a small mountain range. The island is full of lush jungles and emerald coconut groves. The east coast of the island has several natural sandy beaches, while the west coast is famous for its sunsets. Koh Samet has 15 bays with white sandy beaches and spooky rocks. The temperature here is suitable for all seasons, and you can enjoy water sports such as windsurfing, snorkeling, and waterskiing all year round. It also has the tranquility and relaxation that Pattaya does not have. There are not only beautiful tropical scenery and seawater swimming pools, but also the unique and cheap tropical fruit and seafood tasting. Koh Samet is known for its stunning beaches. The whole island is a T-shaped island, with good beaches on the east coast of the island, where most of the commercial buildings are also located. The island's longer beach, Saikai Beach, also known as Diamond Beach, is always held here, such as beach volleyball.
