Around Bangkok|The most complete guide to Koh Samet I am willing to go there 100 times again

What should I do if I only have two days off on the weekend and don’t know where to go? What should I do if I have a busy schedule and don’t have time to go to Phuket to see the sea? this! All! No! yes! thing! The blue sea is nothing new here. I have been to Koh Samet more than ten times. I would like to call it the most treasured island around Bangkok. A two-hour drive can satisfy your breakup happiness of flying to a tropical island for swimming. Uh, no... Be happy! You only need to rush to Ekkamai station before 8 o'clock in the morning and spend 200 baht to buy a ticket to Koh Samet, and all the happiness in the world will be yours, no lie! In order to enjoy this journey with peace of mind, it is recommended to buy all the round-trip tickets. After all, the time is too limited for only two days. The departure time of this minibus is perfectly coordinated. The outbound journey departs from Bangkok at 8 am, and the return journey is at 3 pm. Depart from Rayong Pier at half past 10 After getting on the bus, catch up on some sleep in the car. When you wake up, don't rush to catch the speedboat with the aunties at the pier, because the pier where the minibus gets off is the pier for speedboats. It's only a 20-minute boat ride. You don't need a speedboat at all, okay? Please walk to another pier on the right side facing the sea, walk about 100 meters, and you can enjoy the joy of halving the boat fare. The round trip for a large boat is 140 baht, and it leaves every hour. After getting off the minibus, you can go straight to the pier. It's time to sail the boat After getting off the boat, you pay 100 baht for the ticket to the island. When you leave the pier, you will see many small shops renting motorcycles. The cost of renting a car is 300 baht per day on weekdays and 400 baht on holidays. Fill in the information and pledge the certificate. That's it. There is no driver's license check here, everyone can drive. Of course, you need to have a certain knowledge of driving before renting one. If you can't drive it yourself, it doesn't matter. There are songthaews at the pier. You can go to anywhere on the island, and the roads are also random. Stop at any time, very convenient I have been here too many times, so I choose hotels near the downtown area. After all, no one wants to miss the nightlife here. Just have a drink and don’t drive. After settling in, please go straight to the main beach Ao Phai. Please don’t be too happy and calmly take off your slippers. At this time, you will find that you are stepping on the softest sand in Thailand. It is named after the sand. No joke. Really, if the sand is not gentle enough, please come back to me There are too many restaurants here, but there is a resort restaurant that is super internet-famous, super island and super Thai. You must not miss it. It is on the left side facing the sea. You can see the most beautiful restaurant Tonsak at a glance. Please go in and you can order with your eyes closed. If you don't mind the heat, you can choose a seat on the beach. It's really not hot. I even wanted to sit there and relax for an afternoon. Before leaving, you can book a seat at the front with the waiter to watch the island's unique fireworks show at night. The show starts at 19:30 and lasts about half an hour. You can drink and eat while watching the show. In addition, you can buy out the fireworks show. It only costs 200 baht to perform for you and take photos and videos. Hahaha, this is a new service, it has never been available before.
