Koh Samet Island is one of the smaller islands in Thailand with a length of only 7 kilometers. It is located about 2.5 hours from Bangkok and 1 hour from Pattaya and a popular destination for Thailand’s city dwellers. The island gets its name from the cajeput tree, which grows there and is called “Samet” in Thai. However, Koh Samet is most famous for the fine sandy white beaches that line the east coast of the island.

At the southern tip of the island is the place to go for watching the sun set. Most visitors want to experience Koh Samet for its romantic side. In addition to amazing views the rugged coastline at the southern tip is a must see. The tranquility and atmosphere that prevails here is unbelievable. A real highlight for visitors are the sunsets, which are among the most beautiful on Koh Samet.

After watching the sun set take a walk through Samet Village. The capital of the island is Samet City also called Samet Village.
