Ao Wong Duean, Koh Samet
A crescent bay on the island's east coast; some resorts here run boats straight to Ban Phe. If you are staying here, ask your resort which Ban Phe pier the boat uses and tell us when booking.
Sai Kaew Beach, Koh Samet
The main beach near Na Dan pier, packed with hotels and restaurants. From here it is a short walk or songthaew ride to Na Dan; leave enough time to reach the pier before your boat.
Ban Phe piers
Where boats from Koh Samet land on the mainland, with several piers run by different companies. Check your pier on your ticket or with your resort and the driver waits there for your boat.
Ban Phe seafood market
Dried seafood, fish sauce and Rayong souvenirs around the pier, easy to pick up before getting in the van. Pack fresh or strong-smelling items in a sealed box.
Khao Laem Ya viewpoint
A lookout over the sea and Koh Samet from the mainland near Ban Phe. If your boat lands early and you want photos before heading back, tell us when booking and check the park's opening hours.
Mae Ramphueng Beach
A long mainland beach within the Khao Laem Ya–Mu Ko Samet National Park, between Ban Phe and Rayong town. A pleasant stop for a walk or a meal before the long drive to Bangkok.
Waiting at Ban Phe pier
Ban Phe has several piers run by different boat companies. Tell us which one your return boat uses and its time, and the driver waits there. If your boat changes, message us on LINE right away.
Flat one-way fare per vehicle
฿4,300 for a Commuter or ฿9,700 for an Alphard per vehicle, including driver, fuel, tolls and drinking water—not priced per passenger.
Same fare as the outbound
Ban Phe to Bangkok costs the same as Bangkok to Ban Phe because we have vehicles based in the area, so no empty van has to come down from Bangkok.
Drop-off at either Bangkok airport
Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang cost the same as a Bangkok address; Suvarnabhumi sits along the motorway before the city. Send your departure time so we can plan the pickup.
No transport hunt on a holiday weekend
On the last day of a long weekend crowds come off the boats together. With a van booked ahead you step off the boat and into your own vehicle, with luggage space for the whole group.
The right vehicle for your group
The Commuter seats 9–13 for groups of friends or big families with plenty of bags; the Alphard seats 6–7 for families wanting extra comfort.

Is the return trip, Bangkok to Koh Samet, the same price?
Yes. Bangkok to Ban Phe and Ban Phe to Bangkok cost the same: ฿4,300 for a Commuter and ฿9,700 for an Alphard per vehicle, because we have vehicles based at both ends. You can book both directions together.
