Can you share your experience of traveling on your own to Koh Samet? How to get to the pier (as it is called)? Is it possible to rent a hotel room there?

It's better to go on weekdays. Just returned from there You get to the ferries at the Ban Phe pier - you buy a ticket right on the spot, the entrance to the island is 200 VTT per person Then take a taxi or immediately rent a bike You get to the hotel It is Avatar that is super interesting rooms, but the café near it is not the most hospitable and close early There is no view from the rooms The beach is wide No sunbeds I liked the Prao Beach side more - hotels are more expensive, but on the other hand, snorkeling and sunbeds, there are only 3 hotels We arrived and paid for the room on the spot, staying for one more night There are also gorgeous sunsets.

There used to be a stop at the intersection of Central Road and Sukhumvit. In the morning we came to it and after 5 minutes a minibus approached, it seemed to even say Samet". On it we drove to BanPe

We traveled together by taxi, you can take a ferry to the pier cheaper. But you may have to wait about an hour (depending on how you arrive). You can book on the spot, now there are few people. But it's more expensive in hotels than in an agoda.
