Tight one, well played Ian 👍
Second!
Koh Samet was the first island I went to back in 2013.
I found it too crowded and commercial and a lot of rubbish dumps on the road side.
Next island I visited was Koh Chaing and found that, in comparison, a paradise because it was not so crowded, less riff-raff and so much to see and do and nice roads to hire a motorbike.
WOW
Thanks Trev, I have been there a few times in the 80,s and 90,s but one memorable time the ferry from Bang Pae had engine trouble in a big storm, long story short, the ferry took in water, no visibility , Chinese were screaming and going ballistic , my thai girl just chanting and praying quietly . Our boat was sinking when another ferry crashed into us, we were saved but soaking wet. Never made it to Koh Samet that day. Our boat sank.
Wow Peter you wont forget that ferry ride!
wow what a trip
I love Ko Samet.
The first time I went there (20 years ago) the place had a whole bunch of malaria warning signs... which spooked this young traveler. (I got over it)
The cool thing I encountered in Ko Samet is that a lot of middle class Thai people from Bangkok would go there for for short holidays/weekends and it was a great opportunity to meet "regular" Thai folks that had no connection to tourism/retail/bars/clubs etc.
wow thanks for sharing
Looking for a podium....might even be a BOSH?!
Looks like gold to me Ian 🥇👍
@@iomtilt Thanks, very close race 😃
BOSH!
@@nickyboy. Thanks Nicky, I'm sure you will be back on the steps once you stop having such a blast in Patts 😆
Wife and I visit Koh Samet 2-3 times every year. It's a great place, especially now without the big Chinese day tripper groups.
nice one
Lived here 12 years now and only went 8 weeks ago. Beautiful beaches, but as you say a bit quiet right now. Loved it, and so convenient from Pattaya.
Couldn't agree more!
You're talking about you're bad taxi ride to Koh Samet. That's exactly why I prefer to take the bus from BKK to Pattaya, it's only 130 thb and far far safer..
yeah I guess mate
While in Pattaya Beach, back around 1982, I read about Ko Samet in a magazine at a local A&W. I had an extra day off from my ship so I took off. I took a bus ride, a scooter ride, and a small boat ride out to the island. I don't remember talking to anyone except maybe at the beach restaurant. I slept in a raised up, enclosed enclosure of some kind. I had no snorkeling gear and no one to talk to for two days. It was fantastic. I can only imagine how it has changed since. While there, I saw maybe five people?
WOW mate, yeah things have changed dramatically since then
Brilliant mate was looking for an escape from pattaya for a few days then I arrive in 3 weeks. Just found it 👍👌keep up the good work ✌️
cheers mate it's lovely there
Certainly is a beautiful island, love it there , glad you enjoyed your break.
Cheers mate
Nice one Herr Trevor 👍. Looks great there 🧐🏖️. Awww man I would have loved to have seen the speedboat ride 🚤.
yeah sorry was too busy hanging on lol
Another interesting one. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it

Wow, So nice to see Koh Samet again after not being there for many years. Such a beautiful island with the whitest beaches I think I've ever seen. Perfect place for a romantic getaway.
It was lovely
Great Trevor… your today’s video was motivational for me to visit Thailand. Koh samet is on my first priority bucket list… keep it up… Discord too is amazing to explore the insider of Pattaya 😜😜😜

It was lovely
Samet was excellent back in the day and there was an old disco up in the trees. Going back 12-15 years ago!!! Eating bbq on the beach and picking the food from a fair selection was a great way to dine. Superb place. EM
WOW
Never been to KO Samet but looking at your video it’s somewhere I’d like to visit, thanks again for the video Trevor

Looks fantastic! You on the other hand look hung over:) hope you enjoy your short holiday Trev.
That's my morning look lol
You convinced me! I will plan to make a 3 day trip to visit Koh Samet during my December trip. Keep up the wonderful work, I love all of your videos. I don't get bored lol, I wish they were longer.

Thank you so much
Thanks Trev great Video we come tp Pattaya once or twice a year for 2 weeks always spend the last 4 days at Koh Samet with a lovely dolly just to relax before we go home a top place to visit 😃😃
Sounds great!
Hey Trev, enjoyed this video. My first trip to Pattaya was in March. We spent 3 days on Samet, stayed at the Samet Villas. Great hotel, beach, and good restaurants nearby. They closed at 9 and we had to have dinner by 8:30. Highly recommend Samet, overall a great getaway and reasonably priced.
nice one mate
☘☘☘☘🙂🙂 love samet, ❤ samet villas on the beach Swiss run excellent , nice cove , a walk from the village and restaurants 😀
Nice one mate
Love the color of your room 😅Beautiful little place 😍 cheers
Was very eye catching lol
Stop making us all jealous Trev!!! 😂
Enjoy your holiday buddy 👍🏻
cheers mate
Beautiful beaches mate
Cheers
My favorite island :-)
It was very beautiful and very peaceful
Always spend 2 nights at koh samet when in pattaya some beautiful beaches all around the island. The little park area with the picnic areas is a hotspot free whi fi to catch up with people dont forget your admission fee to the park rangers
nice one mate
Great vid
Check left as you hit sae kaew beach youre old bikes there😂😉
lol
We were there 3 weeks before you, April 2022. Absolutely loved it!
Nice one
It looks Effing hot ! ....More than usual as you dont usually look like your struggling in it Trev Ha ha
It has been very very hot lately
Great video! Koh Samet has long been on my bucket list. This video gives me more motivation to make it happen. You took me down memory lane talking about your ride there. My first trip to Thailand was back in 1998/99. I British friend recommended the trip. He was a great guy so I went, even though I knew absolutely nothing about Thailand. I didn't know he was a Cheap Charlie, and so on his advice I took a regular airport taxi from Bangkok. I swear the guy hadn't slept for 36 hours, and was coming down from some stimulant. In between his running repairs of the AC, I had to slap him hard on the shoulder to keep him awake during the drive. I honestly wasn't sure I would arrive uninjured or dead. This was pre-toll road, so the trip was a good 2 hours. Looking back, I can't believe that until Covid-19 I had never missed a year enjoying Holiday in The Land Of Smiles.
You should try to visit the island it's great
Yeah I wanna go 🚶♂️
It's a great island mate
hi trev hope your haveing a great time on koh semet whit your lady ...i add a great time there whit nisa ...be seeing you next friday mate
Nice one mate
Stopped there at Christmas trev absolutely brilliant place was doing 2 nights but stopped for 4 , al be back at Christmas again no doubt about loved it 👍🏽 plus the speedboat ride was insane going out haha
nice one mate
Didn't realise it was so close . I'll try it next time. Cheers
Enjoy mate
Never been there. When / if I do return, I’ve added it to my list. Thanks Trev.
Welcome mate
You Definitely sold me on it for my later trip probably at the end of the year or early 2023.
I will be in Pattaya and Jomtien this time May 10 - to June 4 👍
Am sure you will have a great time mate
I'm only half way through the video and I'm convinced! I'm a proper beach bum anyway, I was brought up on the coast before moving to London. I could easily chill somewhere like that with a little hotty picked up in Pattaya. It looks gorgeous. I lived on Koh Tao for 6 months, and over a year on Koh Samui, so island life works for me!
Thanks for another great video Trevor....I'd love to see your missus sometime - is that a conscious choice that she doesn't want to appear in your films? Just to put a face to a name that you always mention, that's all....
Till next time.....! 👍🙂❤❤👏
you will love it
Good vid Trev,enjoyed that,looks really nice,is there any girly bars on the island mate.
none mate
Just so much to see it is another on the list, At least I get a preview before going there. You should try the ride in pouring rain in a mini bus in Phuket and a few times feel the back end wiggle along the coast road with big drop off, It was a white knuckle ride grabbing the "jessus handle".
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for your trip to Koh Samet got my trip booked for 27-28-29 of May staying at Sinsamut Hotel never ever been there can't wait
Hopefully I can catchup at the Buzzin Bar over my stay
Hope you enjoy it!
One More greenflagTrev
It’s a beautiful island 👍
It was lovely
last there in 2007, fantastic
nice one
Great island and great time to visit, before it is over-run by "flag chasers" again!
lol, true
Went there on my first visit to thailand back in 2012. stayed at Lima Coco Resort and I remember thinking how the beds felt like I was sleeping on concrete only to look under the mattress and find it was actually a slap of concrete lol. hired a quad bike and had a lot of fun on that as alot of the roads outside of the main area were basically dirt roads. I wonder if they have finally sorted that out.
wow thanks for sharing
Will go October 😊
Enjoy your time
Nice one Trev. That beach looks fab. Where is the pier to get the ferry …..Rayong?
Yes mate Ban Phe
Nice change from the usual vlogs. You should know by now Trev that Thais don't do Sun so they go out early morning or late in the day. I like the bean bags and chose to sit on them if I can. Tip eat early on the Islands. As you have found out.
Indeed mate
look forward to following you holiday on Koh Samet ... I am a big Phuket fan with 15 holidays there ... I never been to Pattaya or Koh Samet with Bangkok only less than 2 hours away you may sold me a different location 😆 🤣 😂
Thanks mate
I was over on Samet a few weeks ago. The drive down was fine although apparently the driver "yak yak me too much". After we arrived, it was a shambles and not the normal, charming Thai shambles. Also, although I was there with a Thai person, I have never felt more unwelcome in Thailand - as I understand it, this is a favourite holiday place for Thais and I felt like I was intruding.
That said, the beach was beautiful, the fire show was great and there is some great food to be had. So, would be cautious - it is lovely but I found it unfriendly. My hotel was about 100 yards from where you first reached the beach at about 08.45
Fire show is fantastic
I stayed @ buddies ,just as you come on to the beach,back in xmas 2018.it was just open.great spot.lovely island.is amsterdam bar still there,beside islander
nice one
Went there in January alot more busy now you forgot something 🙃 very few 🏧 so have some cash first and right at arrival there is like a small shopping area with a 7 and a 🏧 and also a Amazon coffee shop I hope in 2nd video you show the beach on the other side and show the sunset there it has some higher end food options also and with the bike yes the green taxis use all the road and more but also your going to notice many speed humps just cruse and enjoy wonderful place and will return.
Thanks for sharing
Nice video Trev, it's pretty close to my house in Ban Chang (Payoon Beach)... Ban Chang is a pretty good place to live but a very quiet town...but they do have "The Strip" for nightlife...but the girls look like they were imported from Pattaya in the 90's...it's a wasteland for young talent....Koh Samet is a good place to chill for about 3 days...:)
nice one
On our way Trevor landing Thursday. In Bangkok then a taxi to Pattaya. Will see soon my friend.
Sounds great!
I was there in January Trevor lovely place for a few days away with your girlfriend really enjoyed it only bad bit the bloody speed bumps when in the back of the baht bus to and from the resort lol
mate more speed bumps than in Pattaya lol
Koh Samut is very popular with the locals and that tells me that it must be good. The Beach looks magnificent and I can't see any brown streaks of poo like you see in Pattaya and Jomtien.
Yeah well said
Hi Trevor
or guys great great video today on Kho Samet it looks excellent , we are 6 guys heading to Pattaya in 12th May for 1 month and are going to do a few island hops , would you guys say Kho Samet is any good for 6 single 50+ studs lol 😂. A few people dying it’s not good for singles ?? Been to Kho Chang and loved it but being told that there is not a lot open there yet . Cheers again. Looking forward to Kho Samet part 2. Enjoy Trev
Its great but if ya looking for company best to bring your own from the main land
Hi Trev, could i ask the name of the plac you stayed at please. I am going there for 3 nights at the end of may and was looking at which area to stay at on Koh Samet and with watching both vids, i like some night life for drinks and entertainment and the other areas looked dead, thanks in advance.
Mossman
Hey Trev, what's that sand like? Is it rocky and rough, or is it soft and flour-like? As a comparison, I visited Phuket when I was in the Marine Corps in '98. That beach was so fluffy, flour-like, and soft, that I couldn't believe what I was feeling. I really haven't been able to find a beach like that again. Usually, beaches I find have miniature rocks and shells all over. I don't know if Phuket is like that anymore. I haven't been there since '98.
flour like
@@Buzzinpattaya oh wow awesome!
Visited Koh Samet last time I was in Thailand and I went there from BKK with the girl I was dating in BKK, we took the bus from BKK to Koh Samet and it felt like it would never get there xD
And we only stayed 2 nights because she needed to get back to work in BKK but it was a beautiful island and quite peaceful :)
Might try to go there again if I have any good company 😂
Take a taxi mate and it's 45 minutes to an hour
@@Buzzinpattaya from Bangkok?
But yes I will take a taxi from Pattaya next time 😂
Sai Kaew beach is another option. About 20 minutes drive from Pattaya
Indeed
Fantastic video Trevor; feel chilled out just watching 🌊🌴👍
Thanks mate, yeah was lovely
Love koh samet beats koh chang for me and alot closer
Indeed
One thing for all your viewers which I forgot to mention is make sure you take enough cash for your stay there's no ATM's on the island there's one or two exchange places but there freelancers and you pay the price on the rate all my falut because couldn't be bothered to change some cash before I went
Thank you for sharing
Wrong. There is at least one atm. Poor info
Hi trev, have they stopped making people have a test to go on koh samet now?
Mixed reports as I walked straight in but some said they had to test. I saw no test stations or anything
Thank you for taking us along Trevor. It seems to me you'd be crazy to go all the way to Pattaya, and not visit this island. Only 2 hours door to door - perfect. The beach is very impressive. the evening promenade on the sand and the line of restaurants would be the perfect end of a day for me. And then a fire show. Who doesn't love a good fire show. All in all, one of the best beaches I've seen. Perfect ! *TOP TIP :* Ask the tourist office if it's safe to swim on any beach you're unfamiliar with ( I was warned off swimming on a similar calm-seas beach in Malaysia one time as they said there were dangerous currents after the Monsoon. On my first day there, a Chinese guy drowned ... ). And always swim between the flags if there's a lifeguard, and swim with other people if there isn't. Looking forward to the next instalment Trevor !
It is lovely
Looks great, I notice a few people have said it gets to busy but I like that, means it's a place to be, the big decision is to go alone or a 3 day wife 😀
Was lovely
I be there in two weeks
Fantastic
I arrived in Bangkok once and got an official taxi at the airport. He had a little television on the dashboard . So we get going and he puts the TV on . We get on to the highway and Thai boxing comes on. His watching the boxing more than the road. I tell him rawang take care. He said mai pen rai, so I turned the telly off lol, I didn't fancy getting killed before I'd got a bar f under my belt lol
lol, bet that woke you up hahah
How late do the ferries run? Can one catch a taxi back to Pattaya later at night?
I think last ferry is about 6pm and taxis run all the time
Hi Trev, have you heard the news (from the Thaiger) about the Thailand Pass being scrapped on June 1st? And also do you actually believe it?
Needs to be published in the Gazette
Could you please tell me how is sio7 and sio8 will have to get back to normal.
Will take a look
@@Buzzinpattaya thank you.
hi from may tourists do not need to test pre travel and no quarantine. If your fully vaccinated do hotels in pattaya have any requirements.
Not that I have heard
Hey Trev. Are there any lady bars there
not really mate
Have they stopped the PCR test for
Koh Samed? I had to cancel a week or so back coz I caught the lurgy.
Yes
never asked me for anything
@@Buzzinpattaya good news. Cheers.
See the "death Island" documentary and tell me you'd still go to Koh Samet...
Not seen it but would go still
1st youtube never posted as soon as I posted it..... HONEST lol would Lie ????
I dry discrimination heheheh
ok
Random question..... can you renew your international driving permit whilst in Thailand or does a Thai driving license negate it?
not sure mate sorry, maybe ask in Discord
Random answer...que?
Hi Trevor have you done a video which has your Mrs MO in it at all, and if not can you do one please. I have never seen her with you.
I'm more than sure he was with her in market the other day in that video?
She is not wanting to be on camera that much
Hi Trevor What was the hotel you stayed in ? l wont be on a motorcycle so like to stay local to that beach/area in this video
Honestly can't remember
No problem mate
Looks like a great place to visit, but a bit concerned about the badger’s paw on your chest at end of video!
lol
