10:10 2~3 hours trip from Bangkok to Samet, including the ferry time? I made that trip in 2017, and I remember it took much much longer (I hired a car from Bangkok to the pier).

Technically, Koh Samet and Koh Larn are best gateways near Bangkok... but i agree the first 3 islands are beautiful... i've been to Koh Chang and i enjoyed every seconds there... i even prefer going there (Koh Chang) over Phuket to be honest... cause it's more chilled vibes.. a lot of tourists but not Chaotic and way cheaper than the more commercial island (Phuket) never been yet to Koh Samet nor Koh Larn.. planning soon to visit Koh Larn, so what you guys recommend what's the best beach over there ?.. by the way, nice video guys 🙌

[chivamork]

Amazing video. Can we also take boat from Koh Chang to another island ?

[stefanobosio]

[Sakshi-dnxc]

Thank you so much for this video, visiting Thailand in 2 days 😁 and I was wondering where to go and this video showed up❤ May I ask what's the name of the islands from island tour in Koh Samet? Also, how many days you recommend we should stay in Koh Samet?

Couple of things, you have the order just perfectly reversed, Koh Kut being n°1 probably top 5 of all of thailand, and the closest Island to Bangkok is Koh Sichang off Si Racha
