Everything is cheaper, there are less tourists and especially less Chinese who can be annoying. The hotel was more expensive but worth it. We never found a restaurant in Samet where we wanted to eat twice. My GF blames the Khmer which are working all over the island and probably in the kitchens as well. I think it is because there are mainly 1-day tourists who will not come back to the same place twice. Let's see, which bay we will vchoose next. It might take some time until we go back, because now the time has come for me to earn some money. Where? In China!!! Thanks mate, food for thought for our next trip. We'll be down Sattahip way anyway. Yes, off to work for those annoying Chinese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed at Vongduen beach resort when I went there. Some good food to be had at some of the little restaurants along that beach...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampariO Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Sandflies: didn't have any encounters with them in Ao Pai. I read that they were active in the northern bay, so I didn't go there. At the last evening in Ao Wong Duean a large bump came up, yesterday and today about 10 more itchy spots around my ankles developed. Worse than a mosquito bite. GF had no issues, usually she is eaten by mosquitos alive while I am spared when we sit together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CampariO Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) After a beach massage we walked to Sai Kaew Beach for dinner. No speed boats, (almost) no tourists, but the best was .... no obnoxious Chinese. Selfie Maraton. When we came back from dinner it was dark, but they were still shooting selfies.

CampariO Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Curfew at 9 pm, the new chief of police was putting his foot down, so most of the lights were out. At least you could get some drinks at all places we visited. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampariO Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Was pissing down the night and morning. For lunch the sun came out but clouds became darker in the afternoon. So, it was back to the room and enjoying some stuff I brought along in an ice box.

CampariO Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 There are better beached on Samet than Ao Phai, though one should find a section without any rocks, especially at high tide: Low tide: The rain left few sand at Samed Villa Resort. Most likely they will restore the beach at the end of the rainy season. We spend little time in the water, better to go to Koh Larn or Ao Khai. Though currently there is not much more to do on Samed. We intended to stay for 3 nights but then decided to book only 2. Without the nightlife it is a bit boring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampariO Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 Next to the Samed Villa you can find the Silver Sands. Can be booked with Agoda, I believe a bit cheaper but not as good as the Samed Villa.A minimart is behind the Silver Sand Bar, the bar being closed. On the right hand side is a simple restaurant that sold drinks. Not very good drinks, so we switched to Breezers. We enjoyed the second dinner in the Villa Samed, food was nice. Breakfast on the first morning was buffet style while the second moring a la carte was offered. Still plenty of choices and one could order as you could eat.

CampariO Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) If you have never been to Koh Samed, you should go before the crowds are back. Don't forget mosquito repellent: got bitten by those nasty sand flies 6 time, despite showering in the repellent and wearing long pants most of the time.
