We took the bus 200km down to Koh Samet, 3 hours 10 min south of Bangkok and then the ferry across to the island. There we hopped in the back of a ute with about 10 other people for 3km drive to our accommodation, the Ao Cho Grand View. It was the bumpiest ride we have had in a long time. It even made Laos roads look like motorways in comparison.
Transport cost us Bus 157B + Ferry 50B+ taxi 40B =247B; or about $NZ 10 each
Our bay was perfect for us: the beach and swimming were great, there were very few people and the nightlife was ...well the there just wasn't any loud nightlife.
We did walk along the beach tracks to the nearby beaches which were far busier and more developed. Peace and quiet were lovely in comparison.
