The best time to go
The guide recommends visiting viewpoints in late afternoon, when the sun is softer and wind is calmer. Since many viewpoint areas are open, arrive early enough to find a safe spot before sunset.
Between Ao Lung Dam and Ao Wai
This sunset viewpoint lies between Ao Lung Dam and Ao Wai, around 2.6 km from the central island area. It is a good add-on after a beach or resort afternoon.
Southern island viewpoints
At the southern end of Koh Samet, west- and east-side viewpoints sit near each other, about a 10-minute walk apart. The scenery works for both sunrise and sunset, but plan your return transport.
Ao Phrao for a romantic feel
Ao Phrao is one of the west-coast beaches, calm and private in mood, making it a strong sunset choice for travelers who want a slower, more polished evening atmosphere.
