Not too far from Bangkok sits this wondrous island. Encompassing 14 beaches with clear white sands, scintillating waters, striking corals and dense plantations, 'Ko Samet' is more than just a treat to the eye! Apart from its beaches sitting beside numerous restaurants and bars, the island holds a pleasant weather almost the entire year, driving billions to visit. Most ferries arrive at the eastern chunk of the island, so start your adventure here and hit the nearest beach, 'Sai Kaew' for fine restaurants and an exciting nightlife. The coast gets greener on the west, housing many resorts. If you're looking for something quieter, head to the south of the island, as it is less crowded, and bask in the tranquility!
