About the Ao Prao Resort
Located on the quieter west coast of Koh Samet, on one of the island's few west-facing beaches, Ao Prao Resort offers breathtaking sunset views directly from the water. As part of the Samed Resorts group, the resort combines a relaxed atmosphere with solid amenities, making it a popular choice for travelers seeking comfort and direct beach access.
Guests can expect a beachfront location with an open-air restaurant, an infinity pool overlooking the sea, and an on-site diving center for those wishing to explore the underwater world. The resort's location on the less developed west coast gives it a quieter and more secluded atmosphere compared to the busier beaches on the east side of Koh Samet, appealing to those seeking a more tranquil retreat.
The Ao Prao Resort is open daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Koh Samet is accessible by ferry from Ban Phe Pier in Rayong and is about a three-hour drive from Bangkok. The island is located within a national park, so an entrance fee is payable upon arrival. During Thai holidays and the peak season from November to February, when Koh Samet enjoys its most reliably dry and sunny weather, early booking of accommodation is recommended.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.

The best time to visit Koh Samet is from November to April (the island is the driest near Bangkok), as the weather is most stable then. It's busiest on weekends and Thai holidays; arriving early in the morning usually means fewer visitors. On long weekends in Thailand, it's best to carefully consider your travel time (because of the crowds, not the weather).
