Welcome to Koh Samet, a hidden gem in the Gulf of Thailand, just thirty minutes off the coast of Rayong Province. This beautiful little island is located four hours from Bangkok and is the perfect place to escape the frenetic energy of city life.
We'd heard that few tourists visit this island, so we figured it was time to find out why. Armed with a rented motorbike and a sense of adventure, we set off to discover the best beaches, viewpoints, and hidden gems this quiet island offers.
Koh Samet quickly won our hearts with its laid-back atmosphere and welcoming vibes, making it one of our favorite beach destinations in Thailand. We highly recommend visiting if you have the chance!
We hope you liked this video. If you did, please give us a 👍 to show some support, and consider subscribing to follow us along as we continue to explore the best places in Southeast Asia.

@MTing-vh8dw 21 день назад

I went to koh samet 15years ago back then was baht 250 each. I stayed there for 5 days but since its a small island, after 4 days you just feel bored . But the sands are so nice. Back then was white powdery mostly Thai people there. Less tourists. Thanks for uploading videos, reminds the old days Thailand 😊

@mikeandashley 19 дней назад

I could see being bored after a few days unless you just LOVE laying around on the beach and reading or soaking up the sun. I (Mike) really love the beach, but after a few hours, I get really bored unless I have a bike to cruise around. Ashley is the opposite and could just sit in the water for hours on end looking for fish and floating around haha.

@@mikeandashley I joined day trip for snorkling, but I got seasick, as the boat just a sampan very rocky when in the middle of the ocean. wasted money for the whole journey as i was so sick couldnt even jump into the water lol. Krabi is a good place, have you been? I went there 10 years ago. it was really good memory though.

@mikeandashley 19 дней назад

Oh no, that sounds terrible! Hopefully next time you'll get a chance to explore the reefs. We don't typically get sea sick, though on our last island tour in Cambodia to Koh Rong (that video will be out in a month or so) we both got REALLY nauseous, as the guy driving the boat was going SO fast and the sea was rough. I thought we were going to flip! We have been to Krabi, though only with friends and not to film. We were taking a nice and needed break from RU-vid last year. We went to Ao Nang and Koh Lanta. We really want to go back to Koh Lanta, as the vibes were so good and we didn't really explore anywhere. We just sat at our beach hut and chilled with our friends.

Yea, we liked the fact that you could separate the day bag. Now, I’d be less likely to use that and get a proper 55 liter bag because I have to also carry around my camera bag for making videos. (It’s mega heavy! 😅😂) The one piece of advice I’d have for packing for over here is not to over pack things like clothes. You can purchase so many things here so inexpensively that you may be bummed if your bag is already stuffed. You can get most things you need once you are here, but we’ve found that things like deodorants, undergarments, your preference on skincare, etc can be difficult to match out here. Everything else is readily available.

Pad Krapow is insanely delicious. We have friends from Thailand and before we visited for the first time, we asked them what their favorite food is and what they. missed the most about Thai food, and when they said "stir fried basil" we were really confused... now we understand. I don't think I could live without pad krapow in my life. Extra spicy is the way! 🌶🌶🌶

@SeanHendy 19 дней назад

@@mikeandashley yep, Thai holy basil has a flavour profile that is unique to anything else. If you ever end up in Indonesia or Malaysia, I would encourage you to seek out and try Beef Rendang. It is a king of dishes that if cooked correctly, has many ingredients, and is cooked slowly for many hours. It has a depth of flavour that makes it stand out from almost every other.

@mikeandashley 12 дней назад

We've been to both of those countries and LOVE rendang. It's so good that we had it twice in our KL video. 😅 The flavors out here are just wild. So vibrant. It makes me wonder what they call food back home. Haha.

@SeanHendy 12 дней назад

@@mikeandashley good drills. Rendang is right up there for me as one of the best dishes in the world. Coming from a western palate it's understandable that Asian food will be in stark contrast. I remember talking to a Thai friend about 'spice', which in countries like Thailand is usually chillies. But in the UK for example, there is pepper, horseradish, mustard that can be 'hot'. I absolutely love Thai cuisine particularly, but then I also have a fondness for British food too. Roast pork and cracking, a good beef and ale pie, goose fat roast potatoes. Most countries have hidden gems on the menu, and it's a lot of fun finding them and trying them out. Safe travels.

Hello 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

@mikeandashley Месяц назад

Hello! 😊👋

@lucca_lee Месяц назад

What you heard may be inaccurate. Samed is a well-known island for Thai people as a weekend party destination, popular among the LGBTQ+ community and people who don't have much time. It's near Bangkok, affordable, and easy to access. It hardly advertises to foreigners since they already receive enough local tourists. I wouldn't recommend it to foreigners either since there are many other beautiful islands. Why spend time on something ordinary when you travel thousands of kilometers from your home country? The island is quiet on weekdays, especially during the rainy season. It can be nice if you stay at a good resort, but there are much nicer islands nearby, such as Koh Chang, or further away like Koh Kood and Koh Mak. The last two islands are definitely gems because it takes time to travel to them, and most Thais won't have that much time. If they do, they would rather go south than to the east. The cleanliness of Thai beaches depends on the season. In the east of Thailand, the water will be clear around the beginning of the year when the currents bring in clear water. Even the typically unattractive Bang Saen and Pattaya beaches can look okay at that time. Most of the garbage floats from the rivers into the sea and is blown back to the shore by waves. Normally, deserted beaches will be very dirty because no one takes care of them, but those with beachfront resorts will be kept clean by the resort staff. However, apart from the mainland east of Thailand, it's beyond cleaning.

@mikeandashley Месяц назад

That makes sense. I believe when we talk about it being a hidden gem, we’re saying that it doesn’t get attention from tourists outside of Thailand. We don’t hear about Koh Samed when people talk about Thai islands, only the others that you’ve mentioned and the very popular ones. So for us, this felt just right. We love the local vibes and the laid back atmosphere of the places we visited. To us, Koh Samed is where it’s at! It didn’t feel ordinary at all. 👌

Hello! 👋😊 I think you may be the one who recommended us going to Koh Samet! We would love to go to Koh Chang and Koh Kood! And we know about the dogs. We always reach a fist out to let them sniff us first to let us know if they are down for a pet. 😊

I used to take my two kids to Tub Tim beach many years ago! It was quiet and secluded. Now it has become the 'Gay Resort beach' of Bangkok's young men. A bit intimidating last visit to say the least! I'm accepting of all types in life but these dudes got quite outrageous! Never again!

@mikeandashley 19 дней назад

Oh wow. I bet it's a really fun place to party then! It was quite empty and chill when we were there. But yeah, if a party vibe isn't your idea of a relaxing vacation with your family, we can see why you may look for another beach. Thanks for watching. 😊

So pathetic to come from the US, to pay so much money for the flight tickets and half of the video to spend on searching cheap hotel and cheap food and keep on talking and talking about it ..🙄.

We’ve been traveling full-time since 2022, and we wouldn’t be able to create free content for you to insult if we didn’t stick to a budget. Feel free to buy us a coffee and maybe then we can live up to your financial standards. buymeacoffee.com/mikeandashley

Agoda deal is always cheaper - normal in Thailand. When the tourism getting better, the room price charges at full amount and agoda doesn’t help much for them (hotels)

@mikeandashley Месяц назад

That’s so strange! We used to run a hotel, and you set your own prices on Agoda, Booking, etc. and then you have to pay them a commission. So we would always match the price of Agoda and take the direct booking so we don’t have to pay the commission. But good to know, we will always book online as the prices are better usually. 😊 We would just prefer to pay the $$ to the hotel so the small business gets the $$. But we have to be budget conscious. 😅
