Description

Escape the hustle and bustle of Bangkok for a relaxing tropical getaway to Koh Samet. Located just a few hours away, this island paradise invites you to unwind on pristine white sand beaches, swim in turquoise waters, and enjoy a vibrant beachfront scene filled with local bars and restaurants. Your day begins with a private hotel pickup in Bangkok at 6:00 AM, heading directly to the pier in Rayong. At 9:30 AM, you will board a shared speedboat for a quick 10-minute crossing to Koh Samet. Upon arrival, you will have 5 hours of free time to enjoy the relaxed island life. To maximize your flexibility and avoid expensive local taxis, renting an affordable scooter is highly recommended. To help you navigate, a curated digital guidebook filled with local tips will be sent to you after booking. Use it to discover panoramic viewpoints and secluded beaches where you can swim, sunbathe, and enjoy fresh food and drinks right by the sea. After a memorable day, return to the island's pier to catch the 3:00 PM shared speedboat back to the mainland. Your private driver will be waiting to provide a comfortable transfer back to your Bangkok hotel, arriving around 6:30 PM.

Important Information

  • For the shared speedboat transfer to Koh Samet, it will depart if there are enough people. It might be that you have to wait a bit before the next departure, but it will not be too long. This will slightly affect the exact time that you can spend in Koh Samet. This is a self-guided day tour where we arrange all the transfers for you for your comfort. There is no tour guide during this day tour, except for the driver at the private car for the hotel transfers. We will send you a guidebook with the whole schedule of the day tour, including tips on where to rent scooter and where to go. The driver of the private car speaks a little bit of English, just enough to communicate. If you need a quick stop, you can ask our friendly driver during the private car ride. Travel time might be a bit longer in case of heavy traffic in Bangkok.
