Nice video. I miss and love Bangkok with sky bridge is very excellent and we can find in every side corner City.♥️♥️ Like Koh Samet with view is very amazing. Nice for tour around.🌷🌷
I stayed at the same resort as a kid with my family, and I can say that a lot had changed since the early 90s. I don't remember seeing so many motorbikes and cars at all. It was more simple and wholesome back then.
Hi, I really enjoyed your video and the thoughtful and methodical way you presented it! Wish others were as good as this! I'm a distance swimmer and wanting to go to Koh Samet in about the first week of April. Can you advice if the sea is really calm early mornings around April. Thanks in advance!
I was there many times nice Place have a good stay jeroen and Mirella enjoy it now near open all so the people can come to Thailand no tests and no Thai pass good.
Good. I was there during 2 weeks at 2019. Ekkamai to Ban Phe was 200 THB, Ban phe to Ekkamai 166 THB. Transfer to island and back was 120 THB. Entrance to Koh Samet was free.Best regards to ever travelers!
Quite amazing and informative,yes well I know that it is possible to go from Bangkok to Koh Saket by van and ferry was fun,also catamaran is nice too.I will let you know if I need any information regarding this trip,thank you
I went to that island many times when I was a teenager. Everything has changed now, But.. it looks like its reputation will remain the same. "Samet... Sed Took Rai" 😉😎 It's a good video and very informative, guys 👍
Really good video. You seem to enjoy all aspects of Thailand. Happy for you. If I could give you a small advice, I would suggest that you don't say "Thank You" so often. In South East Asia, "Thank You" is reserved for occasions when you are showing great gratitude. It's like saying "I deeply appreciate this kind act you have bestowed upon me" or something like that. When you buy a bus ticket, no need to say anything. When you get a delicious looking meal, a simple nod of the head is enough. Of course, these days you see it more often from Thais to foreigners but if you observe how the locals react you would never hear "Thank You" when they buy a bus ticket. It would be completely bizarre for them.
I had a talk with some of my close Thai friends about saying Thank You all the time and they love it. I know its not standard, but I keep doing it on purpose :-)
What a nice info for us who are planning to go to koh samet. One quick question, we are planning to go to Ban phe pier with a motorcycle from bangkok, is there any parking for rent near by, where we can leave the motorcycle for 2 days? and how much would be the cost? Thank you and more power.
at Sanam Luang National Museum, Phra Kaew Temple, Pho Temple, Santi Chai Prakan Park There is a celebration of Bangkok's 240th anniversary. It's very worthwhile to visit. Especially the museum, free entry. There are many ancient sites. I haven't finished walking the whole temple yet. If you look at the map, Sunday is the last day
Koh Samet has changed a lot since the last time I was there in 2006. We used to take a speed boat if there were 4 or more of us. They would take us right to our place. The speed boat is much quicker and back then it bypassed paying the park entrance fee. Not sure if that has changed or not.
Very good information. Tks a lot. I will go in June to Ko Samet. Is it true that you have be vacciante and to make a covid test before enter to the island?
I'm hoping to take a bus from Bangkok to Chanthaburi to go to the durian festival on June 1. However, now I am doubtful I can pull it off. I also prefer big buses. Those vans scare me! 😱
Hmm, I am not sure about Chantaburi, they might have the semi big buses or big buses. Koh Samet off course is a very touristic destination, Chantaburi is more regular, so not so much affected by the pandemic.
Off course I can not say it with 100% certainty. But I am pretty sure that during normal times there is a direct connection from Suvarnabhumi towards Koh Samet.
As of today May 26th when I went to buy tickets for Sunday, the larger mini-bus is available leaving at 8 am to Ban Phe. Thanks for the helpful video.
Thanks for the update David.
Looks like it was pretty easy to do……and those beaches are awesome!
it's so nice ❤️❤️❤️Thank you for sharing video.
My pleasure.

Great video mate ! How much the minivan cost ?
This is very nice trip, good share, the interesting looking ferry terminal is really nice
The ferry terminal is relatively new.
Lucky couple traveling to the south☀️😎🥂, that’s a nice trip, safe journey 🙏🏼✌🏼😎☀️
Thank you Klaus!

Nice! Same beach I went to in 91. Sure has changed alot.
Oh, I can imagine. It already changed a lot in the past 10 years, imagine 30 years.
bravo~inrcedible .🤚
Love the Eastern Bus Station.
muy útil y bien explicado el itinerario, gran vídeo 👏👏
Muchas gracias Kike.
A lot of times the mini bus drivers are maniacs. Years ago they introduced me to Red Bull and that explained everything
Not a big fan of minibuses either, but this was luckily a very nice and responsible driver.
Best video
Hello friend good afternoon

Yes, we are heading in the right direction.
How I wish that I could spend a couple of days just relaxing on that wonderful beach after the winter time here in Chicago!
Yeah, winters in Chicago can get pretty cold right 🙂
I was there many times nice Place have a good stay jeroen and Mirella enjoy it now near open all so the people can come to Thailand no tests and no Thai pass good.
Thank you Antonio. It all seems to get better soon 🙂
Hey amico, grande! Sono stato al Samed village nel 2019, che posto fantastico!! Si sta bene in quest'isola, ci sono spiagge fantastiche! 🇮🇹
Ok, I put your video here Amico ;-) : th-cam.com/video/Puip-Xw341Q/w-d-xo.html

Glad you liked it, don't forget to watch the video about the beaches 🙂

"Samet... Sed Took Rai" 😉😎
It's a good video and very informative, guys 👍
Yes Arth. It changed a lot, even from the first time I went there 11 years ago. It develloped a lot.
I’ve never been here and it looks good. Have the options to get here from Bangkok or Pattaya improved since you made your video 7 months ago?
Like N°250 from Dubai 🙋❤
Thanks for the Like Adullah 🙂

คนสุภาพมีความคิดดีใช้คำนี้บ่อยคนไม่มีมารยาทไม่ใช้
sawadee ka Khun Jereon 🙏😊 👍😀
Sawasdee Kap one time 🙂
7:53 WOW Definitely not the Littlest Mermaid in the sea😂😅🤣
👍
Leuk! Fantastisch ook dat je meteen hoort dat er een Nederlander achter zit ;-)
Ja, is wel duidelijk met het accent toch 🙂

Try to be there before 5 pm. Later it is difficult to get regular boats. It is getting expensive then to get a small speed boat at night.
Wowo amazing... Kindly suggest me 3-4 affordable beach resort for family

Not paying the park entrance fee is a thing of the past. We used to get around that as well 10 years ago, but now all speed boats go through the port.
I took a big bus to Pattaya 2 weeks ago. 119 bht almost every hour. last bus back to Bangkok at 8PM. bring a jacket because they crank up the aircon.
Thanks Jeff. Great information.
Hi, which month that was?
Very good information. Tks a lot. I will go in June to Ko Samet. Is it true that you have be vacciante and to make a covid test before enter to the island?
We did not have to show nothing. Also no test.
Samed Villa is where I always stay
We love it there, I think this was the 5th time.
Is there any direct bus for ban phe from Mochit Bus terminal?
I'm hoping to take a bus from Bangkok to Chanthaburi to go to the durian festival on June 1. However, now I am doubtful I can pull it off. I also prefer big buses. Those vans scare me! 😱

@@globaltravelmate Big thanks for your feedback.
Is there direct Boat/Ferry from Bangkok to Koh Samet from Ekkamai??
Hi Mate, would you know if there is any bus/mini-bus service from Suvarnabhumi airport to Ban Phe pier.
Off course I can not say it with 100% certainty. But I am pretty sure that during normal times there is a direct connection from Suvarnabhumi towards Koh Samet.
😄
I stay in Rayong now, but didn't go to Sa Met 🤣
You should try it next time Nannapat.
Actually, the entrance fee is 50 thb (for Thai, of course). Farang's have to pay 4x the price 55555
It's actually 40 THB.
Hotel pricing please? Thanks
Prices always change during the weekend and weekdays. It's easy to check it online with Agoda or Booking.
