such wonderful feedback on ko samui...whats the best way to get to ko samet...thinking of straying from my usual Pattaya stomping grounds and trying something new.

I went to Koh Samet on my last trip (2 years ago). We went to a travel agency and were driven to the boat. It's a quiet place, but good for a couple of days out of the hectic nights of Pattaya. Think sitting on a beach at night, having a few drinks and just relaxing. I enjoyed my couple of days there.

Take a bus/taxi/car to Sri Ban Phe Pier and then boat there. If you will book hotel at Kho Samet in advance, then most of hotels will offer free pickup from pier also.

It's definitely just a place to sit on a beach and chill out. My friend likes those hookah pipes, and we'd just sit on the beach at night, him smoking away, and me knocking back the vodka.

Fond memories of Ko Samet...

In about 1994 the then-owner of the Sky Bar above Mr Mac's Hotel on the South Pattaya-Jomtien road, a genial Ulsterman named Ken, organised a trip for several of his patrons. We all went to Ko Samet with him for two or three days, staying at Ao Prao on the island's west coast, with everyone taking along his own favourite Sky Bar boy (the bar was closed up while we were away). Unfortunately, that left several boys unpicked - so, in a moment of drunken generosity, I offered to take the lot of them along at my expense. We had a fabulous time - though with my personal party of half a dozen boys to take care of, I can't remember much of the qualities of rest and relaxation that everyone else here describes as being so characteristic of Ko Samet.
