Koh Samet
Koh Samet
Honeymoon Island
Tropical Islands and Asian girls what more could you want.
Koh Samet is a small beautiful Island a little over 200km from Bangkok,it is part of the national park and has a 200 baht entry fee.
This sun drenched and low traffic Island is the perfect getaway for Asian dating couples or honeymooners and unlike the Koh Samui and Phuket,here you can get peace,quiet and Romantic
privacy.
Long white beaches and clear blue water with Umbrella and deck chair for hire,enjoy the beach with out the gritties.
If you want to play Robinson Crusoe there are naturally ventilated huts on stilts fine if you are young and looking for adventure but I do not think it will impress your Asian girl friend,and could prove to be a honeymoon you want to forget.The Mosquitos are big,well fed and very friendly and sociable I would recommend our Asian dating couple and newly weds to take a nice air conditioned bungalow on the beach,500 baht-2000 baht,and wake up with love bites not mosquito bites..lol
In the morning,,a short walk to the beach with a swim in refreshing ocean waters is a perfect way to start the day.
Into the Bungalow for a self prepared breakfast or into a cafe for a morning cook up.A motorbike for hire 200-400 baht for all day and night,get one, its the best way to get around,the Island is only 7km long by 4 km wide if you are not into motorbikes you can get a Jeep(4wd) for 1200 baht a day.
Visiting on the week days is best as being close to Bangkok it can still pull a crowd on the weekends and holidays.The main attraction here is relaxing.
Being in the city when I do a story on Islands it always makes me want to pack the bags and go.
For the Northern Hemisphere with winter approaching now is a good time to plan a winter getaway.
Slip slop slap,hat and sunnies is the order of the day.
