🇹🇭3 hours of self-driving in Bangkok, Thailand. A small island. Very beautiful. Very quiet.

· I went to Bangkok at the end of December. A small island by the sea that I drove to. But I saw the guide on a certain website. There are also many hotels on the island on Ctrip. It must have been a very glorious tourist destination in the past. There are two beaches, Diamond Beach and Opai Beach, and the hotel prices are not cheap. When we booked the room, it cost 700 RMB per night. I don't think Thailand is really a low-cost place, at least accommodation is quite expensive. hotel Larissa Resort Koh Samet (last picture) Judging only by the pictures on the Internet, I think the advantage of this hotel is that it is just a short walk to the beach, which is very attractive to me. When we arrived, we found that there were three or four hotels connected together in this circle. It is very convenient to see the sea, as the hotel is located on the beach. It's very small, but there are beach chairs and swings. It's like a secret place, very beautiful, and the sunrise is amazing. It feels like being at your doorstep and there is a big beach. In the other direction, there is also a super large beach about five minutes’ walk away where you can play in the water and enjoy many activities. Schedule If you drive from Bangkok 🚘, it will take more than three hours. You can consider leaving around 10 o'clock in the morning. There are some super large wet markets on the road, where you can also buy something to eat. After arriving on the island, buy a ticket and take a boat to Koh Samet. It's probably around 4pm, and then you can enjoy the nightlife. Get up again the next morning to watch the sunrise, and then return around 12 noon Cost 💰 I saw in the travel guide that some friends took a taxi directly from the airport. If we drive ourselves, the cost of this part will be relatively low, just the gas and car rental fee is about two to three hundred RMB. There is a parking lot where you can park when you get there, but you need to wait, and there may not be a spot. The parking fee is more than ten RMB at night. Boat Tickets After we arrived, we bought tickets to Koh Samet. They were all individual sales, but the prices were clearly marked, and since we didn't have much, he just exchanged the money for us directly. We exchanged it with Euros, and the people here were quite clear about it, probably because there were more foreign tourists. Then he has a speedboat and a super large ship. The speedboat runs once an hour, and the large ship runs 5 times a day. The speedboat we bought was 400 per person for a round trip. Overall it was smooth. We had to wait for a long time on the return trip because they wanted the boat to be full before leaving. After boarding, we waited for more than half an hour before setting off. 🍝The food is normal. If you eat seafood 🐟🐠🍤 (see the picture), it will be a little more expensive. The meal we had cost nearly 500 RMB, but if you eat these seafood in Hainan or somewhere else, it may cost 800~1000 RMB. Motorcycle 🏍️ It is recommended to rent a motorbike when you get to the island. We rented it for less than 12 hours and it cost 400 baht, but it was still worth it. This island is not big, but not small either. You definitely can't walk around it. We rented a motorbike and drove to the southernmost tip of the island the next morning, and then found an uninhabited area, which is also a very beautiful place. • #2023travelwish #Macauclearance #Goodplacesforparents #Overseastravel #I miss you so much
