Ko Thalu is a habitat of seagulls, flying fox, and turtles. They should prepare food and water, as there is neither facilities nor food supplies available on such islands. Ko Samet is a laid-back island where the emphasis is less on things to do and more on enjoying the islands beaches.
For those people who do want something to do the island does have a few activities to enjoy if the beauty of the beaches is not quite enough to keep you occupied. From the simplest of activities such as walks along the beach, all the way through to taking your PADI Scuba Diving certificate there are an array of ways to keep yourself active. Seafood, seafood and seafood, some of the best barbecues are found along Ao Phai and Haat Sai Kaew beaches but they are found on all beaches and most serve the same as the next.
There's also local food, curries, pizza, steaks and hamburgers. Almost every hotel and bungalow operation has its own restaurant but it's only the movies that differentiate them. Many also set up tables and chairs at night for dining on the beach. Crowds don't always mean they are good.
The day trip companies make deals with restaurants and take their customers there.

Here you can end your day perfectly with a beer, a hookah or a bucket and in the late evening even go to a party, if you feel like it.
Probably the most popular bar on Haad Sai Kaew is the Ploy Bar , a Thai-style beach bar that often offers good live music in the evenings. It has a large dance floor and an evening fire show. There are also a few bars and restaurants on Ao Wong Duan and a party at full moon where you can turn the night into day. Of course, you can not compare the nightlife of Koh Samet with the party hubs like Phuket.
But you will not be bored either. The island is just 7 kilometers long and 4 kilometers wide at its widest point. There is not much space for many sights, but still I found some!
In addition to temple buildings with beautiful murals to match the legend of Koh Samet, you will find here a large Buddha, too. Sometimes a monk is on site, who will gladly explain everything to you. Unfortunately, I did not have the luck. Since I really like temples, I was impressed anyway. There are benches on site as well.
So sit down and enjoy the wonderful view! The story of Phra Aphai Mani is a Thai folklore and is taught to children already at school. On Koh Samet and also in Cha Am there are some statues and paintings to this story or legend. In short, Aphai Mani was a prince who could play a magic flute. After his kidnapping, he fell in love with a transformed giantess and they got a son together. When he escaped again from the giantess, a few mermaids helped him and in the end he fell in love with one of them.
His flute could make people fall asleep or even kill so that in the end, he defeated the giantess with his flute. Also on Koh Samet you can of course rent the usual scooters in Thailand. Unfortunately, it is a bit more expensive, that means 1 hour costs baht and 1 full day even baht.
But in hours you can easily get around the island. In addition, there are also many great golf carts to rent, with which you can comfortably cruise the island. Although it costs baht for one day, it is definitely a lot of fun! There is also the possibility to rent a bicycle for baht per day or to take one of the green shared taxis.
