Koh Kham
Address - Tambon Sattahip, Amphoe Sattahip, Chonburi Province
Atmosphere/Location - Koh Kham is under the care of the Royal Thai Navy. It is a beautiful island not far from Bangkok. It takes about 2-3 hours to travel from Bangkok. When you reach the entrance of the navy base, there will be a navy officer at the gate to exchange ID cards for tourists who will enter the area. Drive in and there will be signs for Koh Samet Pier and Hat Nam Sai. The Koh Kham ticket office is located before the pier. The ticket price is 300 baht per person, paid in cash, no transfers. If you are going, please bring cash with you. This 300 baht includes the fare for the songthaew that takes you to and from the pier. At the ticket office, there are shops selling snacks, drinks, and food to tourists. When it is close to the departure time, the songthaew will take you to the pier. There will be an officer who will tell you which boat to take because there are boats from Koh Samet parked together.
From Khao Ma Cho Pier to Koh Kham, it takes about 20 minutes. The highlight of Koh Kham is the wooden bridge, which is a walkway from one side of the frame to the other side of the island. The sea water is crystal clear and a beautiful blue color. On the island, there are places for tourists to sit and rest under the shade of various trees. There are places selling food, drinks and snacks. There are free restrooms and activities such as kayaking and snorkeling.
