Ko Samet is a compact island in Rayong Province, Thailand, known for white-sand beaches and easy access from Bangkok. Part of Khao Laem Ya–Mu Ko Samet National Park, the island is popular for weekend escapes, beach resorts, seafood, and relaxed nightlife. Travellers come for Sai Kaew Beach, Ao Phai, Ao Wong Duean, quiet southern coves, and boat trips around nearby islands. Its short ferry ride from Ban Phe makes it one of the most convenient island getaways from the capital. With clear water, beach cafés, and a laid-back pace, Ko Samet is ideal for short tropical holidays.
