Koh Samet Resorts - Transportation

Koh Samet is quite small and exploring the island by foot can be very rewarding. Typical island transport is used to bring tourists from the pier to their Koh Samet hotels.

Scooters are probably the only means of transportation used by visitors on Koh Samet. Though not recommended in cities or other high-traffic areas, scooters, or mopeds, are a cheap, fast, and easy way of getting around on Koh Samet, small villages and beach towns in Thailand. At a low cost of approximately 200-500 Baht per day, you can tour around the island, beach towns, highways, and back roads, which can lead to much more interesting adventures than if you simply took a standard tour.

Some smaller islands along the Andaman coast have only Scooters. No cars or busses are available, you either have to rent a scooter to get around, or ride a motorcycle taxi for a mere 10-80 Baht depending on your destination.
