⚠️Since it's an island, there are often insects in the rooms and showers. 😨
This is an island, so maybe it can't be helped, but the Wi-Fi connection wasn't very good when I stayed there. 💦

✅Location
It's about a 2-3 minute walk from Ao Phai Beach on Koh Samet.

The beachfront is perfect for relaxing massages, restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, and local food!

✅How to get to Koh Samet🏝️
Take a bus from Bangkok's Ekkamai Bus Terminal to Ban Phe Pier (approximately 3.5 hours // fare: approximately 900 yen one way)

Once you arrive at Ban Phe Pier (Nuan Thip Pier), you can get to Koh Samet by ferry or speedboat!
The ferry is cheap, but it has a set schedule and takes about 40 minutes, so if you're in a hurry, we recommend taking the speedboat! (Approximately 15 minutes // Approx. JPY 1,600 round trip)
You can purchase a round-trip ticket on the way there, so be sure not to lose your return ticket.⚠️
Also, the speedboat ride is quite bumpy, so we recommend taking motion sickness medicine beforehand.☺️

Once you arrive at the island, you'll need to pay an entrance fee of 200 baht per person!
Once you arrive at the harbor at Koh Samet, head to your hotel by songthaew (shared van) or rent a motorbike.🏝️🏝️
