[2025 Koh Samet Attraction] Travel Guide for Prao Beach (Updated Mar)

🏝️Koh Samet is an island not far from Bangkok. I drove from Bangkok for about 3 hours, left my car at the pier and took a speedboat for 300 baht round trip. When I arrived on the island, I rented a motorcycle for 300 baht per day. If anyone rides a motorcycle around the island and doesn't know where to go, I recommend Ao Phrao. Ao Phrao is a quiet beach located on Koh Samet. The atmosphere is shady and there are few people. You have to park your motorcycle on top and walk down for about 300 meters to reach Ao Phrao. At this point, you can snorkel. There are many species of fish. If you like taking pictures in a bikini, I think there are fewer people here and the pictures are beautiful. #Sea near Bangkok #Island travel #Island stranded #Koh Samet #Rayong #Sea travel #Name's diary

#Sea near Bangkok Koh Samet is another place that people like to visit. It can be said that the sea is beautiful, the water is clear, and it is near Bangkok. You can travel by private car or minibus. Then take a boat to the island again. Koh Samet is an area of ​​Khao Laem Ya National Park. Koh Samet is a famous tourist attraction in Rayong Province. It is about 6 kilometers from the coast. There is a legend that it is a wonderful glass island. When taking a boat to the pier, you will see a large statue of a giantess butterfly. Koh Samet has many bays that are popular for staying and traveling. I personally stayed at Ao Phrao, which is at the very end of the island and is quite private and quiet. It is very suitable for a weekend getaway. 📌Koh Samet is located in Tambon Phe, Mueang District, Rayong Province.

After carefully studying the guide, I decided to enjoy the sunset at Prao Beach on Koh Samet🌅. This is the only perfect place on the entire island where you can enjoy the beach🏖️, seaside🏝️ and sunset🌅 at the same time. I chose a cold drink restaurant located in the middle of the beach. The price is about 200 baht per cup. Sit there and wait for the sunset🌅. I visited on April 30. Sunset starts at 6:00 sharp and disappears completely at 6:40, leaving the golden hour only half an hour. If you want to capture the perfect sunset view, you must arrange your time appropriately⌚️. - Transportation: We chose to rent a motorcycle and drive there by ourselves. It only takes about 10 minutes by motorcycle from 7-11 in the center of the island, which is very convenient.
