Bangkok and Ko Samet

Combining the city of Bangkok with the nearby island retreat of Ko Samet is the ideal way to enjoy both city and beach in Thailand without flying down to the south of the island. Just three hours from Bangkok, Ko Samet is the ideal weekend beach getaway for visitors and locals alike. You’ll start your trip in Bangkok for three days before driving and taking the ferry to Ko Samet for four nights of beachside bliss.

Whilst most tourists head further south for their island visits, you will find fewer visitors in Ko Samet, which makes it a more off-the-beaten-track place to visit. A great deal of the island is protected as part of Khao Laem Ya-Mu Ko Samet National Park, making it clean and relatively unspoiled.

Begin your journey with three days of exploration in Bangkok, where you’ll immerse yourself in the city’s vibrant culture and vibrant nightlife. Discover hidden treasures at Bangkok’s renowned night markets, marvel at the ancient splendor of Wat Pho, and indulge your senses at Aor Tor Kor Market, all while enjoying the luxurious comforts of the capital’s finest hotels.

After soaking up the sights and sounds of Bangkok, it’s time to embark on a scenic drive and ferry journey to Ko Samet, where four nights of relaxation await. Settle into the luxurious accommodations of Paradee Resort and Spa, where you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of Ao Kiew Beach and the azure waters of the Gulf of Thailand. Spend your days lounging on the pristine shores, exploring the island’s secluded coves, or indulging in rejuvenating spa treatments amidst lush tropical gardens.
