A range of Koh Samet Hotels have sprung up on the small island of Koh Samet that cater to the discerning Bangkok tourist who is looking for a few days outside the city at a nice Thailand beach.
The Samed Group currently have five resort properties on the island, each with stunning locations and so there is something for everyone.
Enjoy your day walking on the fine white sand, playing a game of ball on the beach or just relaxing in a chair under a Bangkok beach umbrella.
Stay on the West side of the island if you like fabulous sunsets.
On the weekend the main beach on the island can become busy with tourists from Bangkok, but during the week it is not so hectic and things quiet down.
There are a range of water sports available and boat tours that will take you snorkeling around the coast of the island.
Around the other side of Koh Samet is small prawn and fish farm that you can visit on a boat tour.
The enclosures are joined by a narrow walking board, so be careful not to lose your balance and fall in the water.
It is good fun to go on the boat trip and visit the working farm in the sea, but keep your eye on any small children.
There is also dining on the beach and live music at various bars in the evenings.
Take your choice from relaxing reggae bars or visit the Ploy Talay restaurant and bar with live music and fresh barbecued seafood.
Shopping is limited to visiting the 7-11 and using the ATM.
If you find yourself in Bangkok, but with a few days to spare to visit one of the nearby Bangkok beaches, then give Koh Samet a go.
