Koh Samet is perfect for those looking for tropical island relaxation, minus the usual backpacker and Western brand dominated scene. One of the great things about Koh Samet is there are no fast food chains, which pushes visitors to experiment with local cuisine a little. The water surrounding Koh Samet is clean and clear, making this an excellent destination for water sports enthusiasts. Despite its small size, the island caters to a range of different types of travelers.While young party people will enjoy the vibrancy of the main beach of SaiKaew, the beaches to the south make ideal retreats.
