Samae San island - all beaches

The beach is absolutely stunning and can be reached in just 15 minutes from the pier. The water is crystal clear and the sand is fine. The toilet facilities are clean and well-maintained. However, if you're looking for food options, you may be disappointed as the only available option on this side of the beach is dry noodles with hot water.

The island is quite pricey, with boat tickets costing 300 baht for Thai residents and 600 baht for foreigners. Additionally, the area you are allowed to explore is quite limited, as it is under the control of the Thai Royal Navy. Therefore, a visit of around 2 hours should suffice. However, there is a silver lining - while snorkeling, I was fortunate enough to spot a Nimo fish.
