Travel photography 📸 Koh Samui, Thailand

Reunite with the world, first stop Thailand 🇹🇭, recommend a Bangkok weekend summer resort - Koh Samet. [Question] Why go to WHy? A summer resort for Bangkok people, quieter than Pattaya and not as far as Koh Samui. Less than 3.5 hours' drive from Bangkok and a 15-minute speedboat ride to the island, you can watch the sunset on the day of departure from Bangkok. Koh Samed Island is a simple, low-key, elegant and peaceful alternative destination. 📍How to get to HOW? Located in the southeastern part of the Gulf of Siam, you can drive or rent a car from Bangkok, or take a bus from the Bangkok Eastern Bus Terminal (Ekkamai) to Ban Phe pier, and take a speedboat to the island in just 15 minutes. 📆When to go? All year round is suitable, the best travel season is from December to March of the following year, with clear skies, pleasant breeze and abundant greenery everywhere, and the climate is also cool and comfortable. 🏌How to enjoy? In Phuket or Samui, island hopping is popular, while in Samet, bay hopping is the way to go. Whether it's lounging under the shade of trees at the locals' favorite Diamond Beach (Hat Sai Kaew) and getting a Thai massage at Na Dan, strolling around the town on the small island, having an authentic Thai meal at a Thai restaurant or coffee shop, or buying tropical fruits at a fruit and vegetable store, you can feel refreshed by drinking a glass of Thai soy milk and Red Bull when you get tired. Koh Samet Island and its nine neighboring islands are all part of Thailand's seven major marine national parks - Khao Laem Ya/Mu Ko Samet National Park. Visitors can enjoy activities such as diving, parasailing, surfing, fishing, and hiking in the tropical rainforest. There are several lively bays, and restaurants and bars line the coast. At night, visitors can join parties with Thai and European and American people. 📍Where to stay? Due to its secluded and low-key nature, this place has not been overly developed except for locals and European and American backpackers, maintaining the original ecological style of Thailand's native fishing islands. Whether it's backpackers on a free and easy trip, families with children, or couples on a honeymoon, there are options ranging from homestays to mid-range beach bungalows, and even high-end holiday resorts, catering to all budgets. We chose the Coconut Beach (Ao Prao), which is one of the less than five high-end hotels on the west coast. Ao Prao Resort is a four-star beach resort with first-class facilities and a rich breakfast. The room balcony overlooks the sea. It has a private beach, an infinity sunset pool, and free pier shuttle. The beach here is one of the most beautiful on the island, with fine sand and coconut trees. Walking on the fresh and peaceful beach, whether it is sunset or sunrise, can make people feel a kind of extraordinary charm and poetry. You can also participate in the hotel's organized canoeing and boat snorkeling, or enjoy a gourmet culinary experience in the restaurant.
