"Booked 3 Deluxe Seafront Cottages for 3 families (7 of us) at Nimmanoradee Resort, Ao Pakarang Samet Island which is located in the Southern tip of the island. It is quite far from the Samet Island jetty in the northern part of the island, about 35-40 minutes ride by Song-thaew( local pickup bus) to Ao Pakarang at the Southern tip. It cost 70 baht per pax or 600 Baht to charter the whole Song-thaew, which is able to accommodate up to 10 pax. On arriving at the Jetty, one has to pay Jetty fee of 20 baht per pax, and on entering the island an additional payment of 40 Baht per person for National forest conservation fee. You also have the option to take the hotel ferry which takes you from Ban-Phe ferry terminal in Rayong right to the Nimmanoradee Resort costing 120 Baht per pax. thereby saving time and saving jetty fee. The Octagon shape Deluxe Cottage are spacious, modern and beds and furnishings are comfortable. Surrounding are well landscape with plenty of trees, plants and flowers. Lots of birds around and salamander and small animals can be seen around the cottages. Swings and easy chairs are provided for guest use near the beach. For a small fee, the Resort provides Canoing and snorkeling activities. Buffet Breakfast is included. It is good for families and couples who wants to relax away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Located away from Sai Kaew Beaches where the main sea sports activities, bars and seafood restaurants are located. The only setback is the Resort beaches are not ideal for swimming. Lots of rocks, mud and broken corals at the beach."

More about Ao Pakarang

Located at the far end of the island, Ao Pakarang is a great choice for visitors seeking total peace and quiet. Hotels line a slight curve with gentle hills rising from a rocky base at either end. The area is connected to the rest of the island by hilly roads, and the best way for visitors to explore more of Samet is to rent a scooter or quad-bike from the town centre.

Ao Pakarang means 'Coral Bay' in Thai, and the area boasts some of the island’s best snorkeling, diving and canoeing in its clear blue waters. Lush tropical palms shade unspoiled beaches and provide sanctuary to a number of rare birds, including the Hornbill.

Naturally shielded from over-development by its secluded location, Ao Pakarang is a great place to experience the traditional lifestyle of the island’s residents. A number of seafood restaurants provide excellent fresh dishes at reasonable prices, and hotel restaurants offer sea-view al-fresco dining. Most hotels have Thai massage and spa facilities onsite.

Speed-boat transfers to the mainland are by far the fastest and most comfortable way to reach the island, and take just 17 minutes. The mainland pier, Ban Phe, is a 2.5-hour drive to Bangkok, and taxis are available on arrival.
