There are many beaches on the island, but the most popular are:

- Tubtim beach (Ao Tubtim): At this beach, several kinds of underwater plants like seaweed, coral reef and sea flowers can be seen here and is a fantastic location to scuba dive.

to get there:

After arriving in Bangkok at Suvannabhumi airport, there are two ways to get around:

1. Take a bus to Rayong and then take a boat to Samed Island. This requires approximately 4.5 hours. It costs around 500 baht or just £10.

2. Take a taxi to Rayong and then take a boat to Samed Island. This requires only 2 hours to get there and is very convenient. However it is more expensive than travelling on the bus; the cost would be tripled! It is still quite cheap for foreigners and even for most Thai students selecting this choice!

- Review:

Finally, I’ve found a place where I can go relax with my partner. The sea is very clear- I can clearly see my toes!! We went scuba diving and sun bathing while we were there and the awesome circus show and fresh seafood made our day! We even had a romantic dinner in the moonlight! Last but not least, it cost me less than I expected. It’s more than impressive and I definitely give it 5/5 stars! I go back every year! Strongly recommended!
