Tour · 22 nights · with Explore Worldwide
A relaxed three-night extension on Koh Samet, a quiet island with white-sand beaches and clear waters, arranged by Explore Worldwide as a self-guided add-on to Thailand tours.
Highlights
Three nights on the white-sand beaches of Koh Samet
Snorkelling among coral reefs at multiple nearby islands
Cycling options through Koh Samet's interior
Transfer overland from Bangkok to Rayong and ferry to the island
This extension offers three nights on Koh Samet, a small island known for its clear waters and white sand, just a short ferry ride from the coastal town of Rayong. Your journey begins with a transfer from Bangkok to Rayong, followed by the ferry crossing and a brief drive to your beachfront hotel on Sai Kaew Beach.
Days are left free to unwind by the pool or beach, with options to hire bikes and explore the island’s interior or snorkel among colourful coral reefs at nearby spots. For those seeking a bit more structure, a full-day snorkelling excursion visits six islands around Koh Samet, including the quiet shores of Koh Kham and Koh Krauy.
Journeys
On the final morning, you return to Bangkok by ferry and road, with a recommendation to allow ample time for the journey before any flights. This unescorted extension is designed to fit alongside Explore Worldwide’s small-group tours, though you’ll most likely be travelling alone on this peaceful island break.
