Just curious if anyone knows some good ways to get to Samet from Bangkok. Can you get the bus there from Ekamai? I am trying to check out some ways to get there. I know its about 200 kilometers from Bangkok. If I have to take the bus there I will but it is about a 3 hour ride. I tried looking to see if any flights go there but couldn't find any. All I found was Krabi. I have always wanted to see either Samet or Samui. I think this year I will check out Samet. I already have a ticket for phuket the weekend after that.

I do not know for sure but I suppose that there is a minibus from khao sarn road to samet ja.

yeah

better buy van ticket at khoasan.. its more faster,, than Bus... becoz bus.. LOL they always stop... and wait for passenger.. LOL

**** it mate get a taxi lol

Not really into the mini buses. I tried it once and will pay the extra to avoid that. I guess if you are young and want to save money thats the way to go. However I don't want to spend most of my time on the mini bus instead of the beach.

then boat of course

Noooooooo Samet is NOT 200km. from Bangkok. Takes only about 2 hours to the docks.

Yes, there are busses from the Ekamai station but make sure you take the bus to Ban Pae. If yu go to Rayong you'll have a pricey ride to the docks.

And have others have suggested there are van/minibus options. From Victory Monument also.

Okay so I think I will take a bus from Ekamai to Ban Phe. Thanks for the info but I thought Ranong was closer? Every website I see they have Ranong listed for Samet and not Ban Phe. Also every Samet website says it is about 200 kilometers from Bangkok. Any how once I get to Ban Phe where do I get the ticket for the ferry to go to Samet?

Take a taxi.

Cool thanks so much Naut.Sirius. I am definitely going to check it out. I have a nice trip planned out. Pattaya the first weekend, Samet the second weekend and then Phuket for the last weekend.

Take a minibus from Victory Monument, they leave every hour.

U can take a taxi from pattaya to ban phe so u dont have to go back to bkk for catching up the bus.. Hmm.. My friends and i will go to samet this 30 june.. See you there!

Not much talent in samed so make sure you take your own company lol

See the irish guy at the last bar on the beach he can hook you up ................lol...I took the bus fromm BKK and the public ferry across

I agree with Khun_lung ka. If you live close to Victory Monument, lets take a minibus near the area of Pong lee restaurant. Its very comfortable minibus and very fast, cost only 200 Baht...

u on the right place, TF member know Koh Samet the most, hahaha ...
