Encountered the stunningly beautiful fine white sandy glass sea at Koh Samet
Fine white sand, glass sea, truly amazing, loved it. Having been to Phuket (multiple times), Krabi, Phi Phi Islands, Pattaya, Maldives, Seychelles (ranked 1st and 3rd in the world for beaches), Bali in Indonesia, Sabah in Malaysia, Okinawa in Japan, Hamilton Island in Australia, Bornholm Island in the Baltic Sea, Langkawi in Malaysia, the east coast of South Korea... If comparing in terms of convenience of transportation, cost-performance ratio, sand, sea water, and food, overall, I give Koh Samet the highest score.
Rented a motorcycle on Koh Samet and rode all over the island. The beaches on the east side of the island are all beautiful, with white and fine sand, and very clear glass sea water.
The sand at Diamond Beach is the finest and whitest, very powdery and cotton-like. Diamond Beach is lively with the main street here, and there are many choices for hotels, restaurants, convenience stores, massages, etc.
Ao Wai Beach wins for being less crowded and tranquil, the water is beautiful, and the sand is very white and fine, slightly less so than Diamond Beach, but negligible. I snorkeled here, it was average, not many fish. Ao Wai is more remote, so there are few restaurant choices here, and you have to go to Diamond Beach to shop.
I also went to the viewpoint at the southernmost tip of the island, where you can see both the sunset and sunrise. However, there are no other restaurants nearby except for a Paradise Hotel, so you can only enjoy the scenery, it's really too remote, and it takes more than 20 minutes to ride a motorcycle to Diamond Beach.
We went to Ao Phrao Beach on the west side of the island for sunset dinner, the sand didn't look white, it was coarser, with many pebbles. But the sunset here is great, and it's the only beach on the island with good restaurants for watching the sunset.
So a good plan seems to be to stay at Diamond Beach, idle away an afternoon at Ao Wai, have a sunset dinner at Ao Phrao, and watch a sunrise or sunset at the southernmost point.
Overall, there are not many hotel choices on Koh Samet. Apart from the Paradise Hotel which is nice but very remote, the best you can get is four stars, but that's enough for a holiday feel. Compared to a very mature, fully competitive place like Phuket, there are fewer hotel choices here and the same standard is more expensive. Everything else is not expensive, and massages are even cheaper here.
Thailand Tour - Same Island 43 Same Island is very close to Pattaya. To play water projects, it is recommended to come to Same Island. I heard from the Thai tour guide that the project in Pattaya is very pitted, there are many people playing, the project time is short, and the fee is expensive.
Thailand Tour - The west coast of 42 Samui is a great place to watch the sunset, with an empty sea facing the sunset. However, in a tropical region like Thailand, there is too much water vapor and clouds blocking it, and it is not easy to see the sun kissing the sea directly.
Thailand Tour - Koh Samui 40 chose to ride a bicycle and walk to live a short island life, sleep in the morning until you wake up naturally for breakfast, swim to the beach, swim to the hungry to eat lunch, lie on the beach chair after dinner, instant happiness bursts...
Thailand tour - Same Island 35 island will have a lot of Thai mothers pulling you to knit your hair, a mouth is 1000 baht, but don't worry, you ignore her, she will bargain for you, down to 300 baht you can agree. And of course, there is the kind of Thai uncle who is dressed by an artist, telling you that his tattoo potion is naturally harmless and stays long.
Thailand tour - Same Island 32 is a national natural park. The national park admission fee is 200 baht/person for foreigners. As soon as you land, someone will charge! There are two people wearing camouflage clothes, which is the income fee. This ticket should be taken with you at any time. On the island, you will check the ticket at any time.
Thailand trip - Koh Samui 20 is simply! ! Stupid, so beautiful. The waves gently beat the reef, the sound was very light, like a wake-up call to the seaside sleep, the blue-green sea at the end of the line of sight and the blue sky, not far away can see three or three ships and speedboats, no need to add any filters, it is enough to be refreshing.
泰国之旅-沙美岛7沙美岛有一处海滩,走进去不远就可以浮潜,早上九点钟左右,海床上回出现好多图片中的七星爆螺,我捡起来了两个,兴奋的游回岸上和同伴们展示一下说一会儿花,再去同样的地方,没在发现过,算是小惊喜,也是很有意义的旅行纪念品
Thailand Tour - 15 Shame Island is a single-family cabin, in the jungle by the sea, still very feeling. There is no light pollution on the desolate island, the sky is abnormally beautiful, and I haven't seen such a clear starry sky for a long time. I have no choice but to have the equipment too scum, so I can only put this beauty in my mind.
