Koh Samet
Paradise Island, Koh Samet is a T-shaped island that lies about three kilometers straight outside Suan Son beach, Ban Phe. Like a beautiful pearl necklace the beaches lies along the entire east side, from Sai Kaew in the north all the way down to the southern tip. On the west side is the Ao Prao "Paradise Beach" (here lies the better and more expensive hotels) and Ao Kui Na Nai, which are worth a visit. Here is calm and peaceful. Best known is the island for its pure white, soft sandy beaches and its beautiful climate - this is one of Thailand's driest islands and ensures sunshine basically year round. Welcome to Koh Samet´s fourteen beaches!
It's easy to get to the island. This is done by boat from one of the three piers in Ban Phe. There goes several trips each day between 07.00 - 17.00 with the local ferry which takes approximately 30 minutes. If you want to go by speed boat it takes 10 minutes and then you can go straight to whatever beach you want. It costs obvious a bit more!
 
Koh Samet is a national park and, therefore, you´ll be required to pay a fee when visiting the island. Although there is a national park, there are lots of activities. Besides sunbathing and swimming, can you enjoy windsurfing, jet ski, bananaboat, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, diving and much more! When you are really tired after all activities, pamper yourselves with a wonderful foot massage or perhaps a Thai massage on the beach. 
 
 
Koh Talu, Koh Kudi och Koh Mun Nai
If you going out to sea, you can reach the islands of Koh Talu, Koh Kudi, Koh Mun Nai after a short boat ride of 30 minutes, about 5km straight off Laem Mae Phim. The water around the islands are brighter and many of the beaches are really nice. The finest beaches will you find on Koh Talu and Koh Kudi.

On the island of Koh Mun Nai (Turtle Island) will you find giant sea turtles in a reserve who gives birth and try to conserve the turtles. You can easily get along with any boater in Ban Phe`s port, which will take you to all the islands on the same day.
