Koh Samet guide for Thai travelers: budget, boats, park fees and beaches

A practical Koh Samet budget and planning guide for Thai travelers covering boats, songthaews, national park fees and beach choices.

Main costs to know

Beyond accommodation, include boat fares, national park entrance and songthaew transport. The guide lists Thai adult park fee at 40 THB and Thai child fee at 20 THB.

Choose beaches by budget and style

Sai Kaew is lively with more services, Ao Phai is balanced, and farther quiet bays may cost more to reach but offer more privacy.

Saving time saves energy

Staying in the central island area can reduce transfers and make short trips or family travel easier.

Prices can change

Boat, transport and tour prices should be rechecked before travel because the guide notes that schedules and prices may change.
