Hotel review: Sai Kaew Beach Resort, Koh Samet
by Tong Puchinan
Oct 23, 2022
Those who dare to set out first enjoy the world
Take your little ones to see the vast world
Winter beach outings with kids are the perfect way to go
Koh Samet in Thailand is hailed as one of the best kid-friendly islands🏝️
Powdery white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, wind chime trees, swings...
Lying under the trees, enjoying sunshine, sea, and ocean breeze with loved ones
This moment is pure bliss!!!
🌴Koh Samet - Ao Wai Beach
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
First 🚖 to Bangkok Eastern Bus Terminal to buy tickets to Koh Samet
🉑Choose private car or minibus/bus (about 3 hours travel time)
We took the bus at 184 THB (37 RMB) per ticket
Private car is more cost-effective for groups. Arrive at Ban Phe Pier to buy ferry tickets (round-trip recommended, keep tickets safe)
Regular ferry: 40 minutes / Speedboat: 15-20 minutes
Island entry fee: 200 THB per person (keep ticket stub)
Island life is truly relaxing and worth visiting
Our hotel opened directly onto the beach with lively atmosphere
Convenient for dining and shopping - every meal was great, no disappointments
There's a 7-Eleven at the pier and two more at the intersection
(The left one doesn't sell ice cups, the right one does
Make your own drinks - mixing MUJI melon milk is delicious, get extra ice, large cup!!)
🏨Hotel: Larissa Samed Resort
Booked deluxe double room for 2 nights
Recommend staying two nights as travel time is long
Front desk rents motorbikes: 400 THB/day or 350 THB for two days
Island-hopping by 🏍️ is amazing for sunrise/sunset views and reaching southern viewpoints
This island is absolutely worth revisiting!! Perfect for relaxation!!
