Koh Samet, Thailand

A travel blog entry by jodytomp

We decided to splurge in Koh Samet (an island in the bay south of Bangkok). We stayed two nights at an upscale resort called Ao Prao. Lonely Planet gave it a good review, and we were very happy with our experience. Cottages were nice, had a view of the beach, staff was friendly, and the restaurants were great. We played on the beach, went on a 3 …

Efter 4 timers bus ender vi på en lukkede sta

Efter vi lander i BKK skal vi finde busstationer. For at komme derud skal vi tage en shuttelbus. Ingen problem da den køre hver 15 min.

The Ring of Fire

A travel blog entry by caiter

How have I lived in Thailand 9 months and only just now spent a weekend on Koh Samed? It's the closest island to me in terms of the big tourist spots, and it’s gorgeous. I guess I just figured it was too close by to waste a three-day weekend on it, and I never got around to going on a regular weekend. What a mistake. Samed is my new favorite spot in Thailand.
