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.
Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.

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.

thanks moses..
You will need to take your own ass with you....
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.Originally Posted by gerefan2

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.
"The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society." [Marsilio dei Mainardini (c.1275-1342), Defensor Pacis]
