Hotels [edit]

The island has many hotels starting from 700 bahts per night. So it makes sense to stay here at least for one night.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Bangkok International Airport - Suvarnabhumi (BKK).

Taxi directly from the airport to Pattaya costs about 1500 bahts. Make sure to negotiate the price before the trip to avoid surprises. Journey will take from 1.5 to 3 hours depending on traffic.

There is also frequent bus service between the airport and Pattaya. It departure from Level 1 (Doors 7-8), costs about 150 baht per way and goes about 2 hours (or longer if traffic jams).

You need to get by bus or by taxi from Pattaya to Ban Phe town, and next take a ferry to Ko Samet island.

When to go [edit]

The best time to visit Koh Samet island is a dry season from November to April. However, it's not too rainy here in summer.
