Samed Island is in Rayong province, about 200 km south-east of Bangkok. The most convenient way traveling from Bangkok to Koh Samed is by a chauffeured car or a minivan.
The travel time from Bangkok to Ban Phe is around 2.5 – 3 hours, depending on the traffic. There are a few regular options to reach Koh Samed and to return to the mainland conveniently – a regular shared boat, a ferry and a speedboat service.
From Nadan Pier on Samed Island, you can take a taxi to Tubtim beach. It costs 50 Baht per person or 200 Baht for the whole car.
*Please be informed, there will be a small fee of the local municipality on arrival at the Nadan Pier (between 40 Baht) and The National Park entrance fee is 200 Baht per person.
A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart.
