Ko Samet - Paradise Beaches in Thailand

The island of Ko Samet in Rayong Province takes about two and a half hours to get to by bus from Bangkok, Thailand followed by a ferry ride that lasts another 30 to 45 minutes. The trip is worth it. The tiny island some four miles off the coast from the village of Ban Phe is relatively untouched by development and is home to some of the most beautiful fine white sand beaches in all of Asia.
