To say Koh Samet is a beautiful island (see photos of Koh Samet below) would not be an overstatement, many visitors to the island say it’s as beautiful any island in Thailand. Koh Samet is not merely beautiful, it’s ydillic, probably everything you imagined a Thai island would be.

Koh Samet is one of the popular islands near Pattaya. If you’re interested, here is how to get to Koh Samet from Pattaya.

Although it’s well visited and the popular beaches such as Sai Keaw can get crowded, there are also more isolated and less crowded beaches, like Ao Prao (photo above).

There is nightlife on Koh Samet, including several girlie bars, but most visitors are content to eat, and drink cocktails while watching the fire shows (photo above).


The shallow waters and soft sand of Koh Samet’s beaches are perfect for children to splash around.

It’s a wonderful place to explore, and you’ll discover many beautiful little beaches and coves around the island.

There’s very little traffic, no major shopping malls, and no one’s in a rush to go anywhere.

Koh Samet is an island in Thailand where you can just relax and blissfully enjoy doing nothing but soak up the sun and the Thai island vibe.
