Outdoor beach dining
Originally uploaded by bastchild.
Mats and Thai cushions were set up around low candle-lit tables for beach dining all over Ko Samet. The bus and boat ride only cost 200 BHT from Sawasdee Smile Inn (it cost 250 - 300 BHT elsewhere). I was able to walk to town and to the less crowded beach of Ao Phai two kilometers from the port. A lot of the places were full, but I got bungalow with bathroom (no hot water) for 600 BHT/night -- a little expensive ($15/night). Ko Samet is not a backpacker's island, but more of a weekend resort for wealthier Thais, although there were more farangs here than I expected. The food was fantastic, though, and the beach was better than others I had seen in Thailand.
