Getting There & Away
Ko Samet is accessed via the mainland piers in Ban Phe. There are dozens of piers each
used by different ferry companies, but they all charge the same fares (one way/return 70/
100B, 40 minutes, hourly 8am to 5pm) and dock at Na Dan, the main pier on Ko Samet.
The last boat back to the mainland leaves at 6pm.
If you're staying at Ao Wong Deuan or further south, catch a ferry from the mainland
directly to the beach (one way/return 90/140B, one hour, three daily departures).
Speedboats charge 200B one way and will drop you at the beach of your choice, but
they only leave when they have enough passengers.
