2 nights trip to Koh Samet: drove by car on highway 36, took over 1,5 hours due to all these construction sites, bridges being built,...
Parked the car in a covered car park at the Sri Ban Phe pier for 100 Bt/night.
Purchased the ticket for the boat (120 Bt return per person) and a songtaew drove us to the pier.
Looks a little bit gay, that tub.
Koh Samet is not far from the mainland, just a bit over 30 minutest ride if I recall correctly.
