Visit Koh Samet 
Paradise Island, better known as Koh Samet!
Koh
means island in Thai, and Samet is tree that grows in abundance on the
island, famed for its bark which is used in traditional medicine and boat
building.
Koh Samet is a national park, although the beach strip is nicely maintained.
This land is reached by ferry from Banpae.
Ko Samet is a small but wonderful island where you will find some of the
most beautiful beaches in Thailand. The water is also very clear. Relaxation
is the main activity here, so spoil yourself a little. The island is perfect
for hiding away from daily life stress and work. Still you are close to
Bangkok
and it's shopping and attractions.

Beaches Koh Samet
The beaches on the northeast of the island
are beautiful and better developed. As you move south down the east coast
the coves and bays become less congested, though no less beautiful. The
beaches on the southeast coast are the least developed and least visited.
The west coast is rocky but does have one very secluded beach with bungalow
resorts and a nice view of the sunset.
The 16 beaches of Samet Island :
1. Ao Prao :
At the west of the island, Ao Prow is one of the quietest beaches. Located
quite far away from the lively nightlife of Koh Samet. Ao Prao is preferred
by travelers who quietly enjoy the deep blue sea and white sand in the
sunshine. Ao Prao has a long white sandy beach which is ideal for swimming.
2. Ao Kham : Not popular and rather quiet.
3. Ao Noi Na :
Ao Noi Na is suitable for those who looking for a truly relaxing experience
on the white & clean sandy beach. You can find only a few resorts at this
beach. There is a sleepy fishing village feel to this area and the ambiance
is quite peaceful and tranquil yet not too far from the excitement in Sai
Kaew Beach.
4. Sai Kaew Beach :
One of the most beautiful and most popular beaches on Koh Samet, Sai Kaew
Beach is 1 km long and 25 – 30 meters wide. The name speaks for itself, in
Thai it’s means Crystal Sand Beach, it is a nice beach filled with lot of
activities. From dusk to dawn, visitors can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, jet
skiing, windsurfing, riding on a banana boat or even partying at night.
5. Ao Phai :
Located next to Sai Kaew Beach, Ao Phai is therefore quite crowded. Known as
the "Khao San" of Koh Samet. There are plenty of cheap guesthouses here all
meshed up together with restaurants and bars. It's a fairly small beach that
is rather untidy and messy with beach chairs all over the place but it's the
fun zone where people come for all night music and bars that open till
late.For visitors interested in sunbathing, this is the ideal place as
swimming is not recommended as there is whirlpool on the sea, as designated
by the red flag.
6. Ao Phut Sa :
Ao Phut Sa is a small bay on Koh Samet which draws repeat visitors intent on
relaxing. Suitable for those who are tired of crowded beaches and nightlife
activities, Ao Phut Sa offers a quite retreat that reunites visitors with
nature in its crystal clear waters.
7. Ao Tub Tim :
Ao Tub Tim, which is set in a tranquil atmosphere, is located near Ao Phut
Sa and is well known for its white sand and clear water. Ao Tub Tim has a
small, cozy resort, which provides nice services in a well decorated
compound.

for holidaymakers in search of tranquility.
9. Ao Cho / Ao Lung Wang : Small and appropriate for budget tourist.
10. Ao Vongduern (Vongduern Beach) :
Vongduern Beach is the second largest beach on the island (the first being
Sai Kaew Beach). Vongduern Beach attracts tourist groups during both the
high and low seasons due to its beautiful white sandy beach and good
accommodations. On top of this, good seafood restaurants with nice views are
also available with the reasonable price.

from the busy, crowded beaches and vibrant nightlife. From Aow Kiu Nok,
visitors can actually walk to Aow Kiew Nai which is the ideal spot to see
the spectacular sun rise and sun set.

restaurants providing fresh seafood dishes at reasonable prices. Right now

the front door and found that sunset is behind at the back door !
