Introduction to Koh Samet

Koh Samet is a small island with a population of fewer than 50,000. Coconut trees can be seen everywhere on the island, and coconuts have become the main source of income for local residents. The island is always filled with the fragrant aroma of coconuts. Unlike the hustle and bustle of Bangkok or Pattaya, the people on the island are very laid‑back and simple, making this a zero‑pollution island.

Koh Samet Hat Sai Kaew Beach

Hat Sai Kaew Beach, commonly known as Diamond Beach, is an 800‑metre‑long beach. Since it is only a 5‑minute drive from Nadan Pier, it is one of the 4 most popular beaches on Koh Samet. There is a wide variety of water sports facilities here, making it most suitable for tourists who love water activities.

Here you can find all kinds of shops — accommodation, restaurants, and bars are all available. The beach also has hawkers, massage therapists, and water sports coordinators stationed on site, ready to serve you with whatever you need. The atmosphere here is very lively, and it is packed with people on Saturdays and Sundays. Due to its popularity, prices here tend to be higher than on other beaches on Koh Samet.

Koh Samet Ao Wong Duean Beach

From Nadan Pier, take a songthaew for approximately 15‑20 minutes; the fare does not exceed 50 baht, while a private car charter is fixed at 200 baht.

Some hotels on the beach offer dedicated ferries between Ban Phe and Ao Wong Duean, with a charge of approximately HK$11 for non‑guests, running 2‑5 trips daily.

Ao Wong Duean is a beach second only to Hat Sai Kaew in popularity. Although the number of resort units and tourist capacity here is smaller than Hat Sai Kaew, it still attracts plenty of visitors.

The resort accommodation here is generally more suitable for families or groups of friends, with easy access to swimming in the sea or sunbathing on the beach. Like Hat Sai Kaew, it offers Thai massage, banana boat rides, and hawkers on standby, ensuring all your needs are met.

Koh Samet Ao Phai Pier

From Nadan Pier, take a songthaew for about 10 minutes.

Ao Phai, adjacent to Hat Sai Kaew Beach, is currently the fastest‑growing beach on Koh Samet. It exudes vibrant energy and is filled with a holiday atmosphere, making it the top choice for young people visiting Koh Samet. However, as more and more tourists come here, this lively beach has started to become commercialised.
