Koh Samet packing list: essentials for the beach, boat and island days

A Koh Samet packing checklist for sun, boats, beach days, waterproof storage, motion sickness and local transport cash.

Sun and beach essentials

Bring sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, swimwear and a light cover-up because many island activities are outdoors under strong sun.

Boat and water-activity items

A dry bag, waterproof phone pouch, small towel and motion-sickness medication can make boat crossings and snorkeling tours easier.

Cash and small practical items

Carry some cash for boat fares, songthaews, park fees or small shops, even though more services may accept modern payments.

Pack light but complete

Koh Samet involves boat and island transfers, so oversized luggage can be inconvenient. Bring what you will use and separate wet and dry items clearly.
