Koh Samet Guide

Stunning natural beauty and white sand beaches, close to Bangkok

Overview of Koh Samet

Dreaming of fine white sand beaches, tranquil, clear waters, and coral reefs? The beautiful Koh Samet, a small island about 6.5 kilometers long on the eastern Gulf coast of Thailand, is the perfect place for you. The island is also great for lovers as it offers romantic vibes.

Sai Kaew beach, the main beach, is located here. There are restaurants, hotels, bars, and a fire show at the beach. Aside from beaches, other attractions draw tourists to this island. One of which is Wat Koh Samet, also known as Wat Ko Kaeo Phetchabun, where you can find the large smiling Buddha statue. Phi Suea Samut, a huge mystical mermaid made of bronze that looks like it comes straight up from the sea, is one of the most special attractions.
