One of the most beautiful and popular beaches on Koh Samet is Hat Sai Kaew which is 1 kilometer long and 25 – 30 meters wide.

The name speaks for itself, Hat Sai Kaew, which literally means Crystal Sand Beach, is a nice beach filled with activities.

From dusk to dawn, visitors can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, jet skiing, windsurfing, riding on a banana boat or partying at night.
 

The climate here is always pleasantly cool with an abundance of rain in August and windy monsoons in May.

There is a wide range of accommodation on the island with prices at the low-end starting from 200 baht for a bungalow with basic amenities, while bungalows with furniture and air-conditioning can start at 600 baht.

Mid-range hotels and resorts are mostly located around the Hat Sai Kaew area and are available. Reservations for accommodation should be made in advance as the place gets crowded especially during the festive season.
