Spent 3 days on KS with a couple of friends...thought this might help.
Drove down to KS from Pattaya, used the A36...quieter and took just over an hour from Jomtien. We parked at the Police Station at the end of the pier...totally free. Many Touts will pull up to you at the lights in the town offering boats etc, we used D-One company for a Speedboat rtn of 500 per person direct to our hotel's beach. When you want to return just give them a call and they will collect at anytime between 10.00 and 17.00 each day.
Stayed at Jep's Bungalows....basic and quiet, and about a 15 min walk along the beach for the nearest 7/11 and shops. Near the bungalows are a couple of fun bars, Oxygen bar and a Reggae bar....both good fun till the wee hours. Hired bikes and RTV to visit the rest of the island, the roads are not for the faint hearted....but some stunning views on the southern tip of the island. At the opposite end of the beach is the Thai Naval School Accom.....!!!!!!! :party
Dinner on the beach....Seafood Platters at about 350 baht, kebabs at 70, beer from 110 - 130 for a large heineken....somtam and everyday Thai essentials i.e. sticky rice etc much the same as in Pattaya. Forget the Fireshows....just my view....overrated and amateurish.
