About the Saikaew Beach Resort
If you want to be just steps from your room to the beach on Koh Samet and spend some time there, this accommodation is ideal. Located directly on Sai Kaew, the island's most popular beach, it's operated by Samed Resorts. The standard is therefore slightly higher than the wooden bungalows further along the coast. Three pools, a spa, an open-air restaurant with sea views, and bright rooms with panoramic views await you. You can easily spend three days here.
The catch is the beach itself. Sai Kaew is a popular meeting place, which means jet skis, sun loungers, and noise late into the night. If you're looking for a quiet beach, this isn't the place for you. However, if you want a lively beach with comfortable accommodation, this is the perfect spot.
It's a weekend trip from Bangkok, and half of Bangkok has the same idea. Places fill up quickly on Fridays, Saturdays, and Thai public holidays, so book early.

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.
Questions about Saikaew Beach Resort
The Saikaew Beach Resort has a rating of 4.6★ based on 3,109 Google reviews.
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).
The Saikaew Beach Resort is located at 8/1 Moo 4 Tumbol Phe Koh Samet, Koh Samet Tambon Phe, Amphoe Mueang Rayong, Chang Wat Rayong 21160, Thailand, on Koh Samet. The usual means of transport on Koh Samet are green songthaews between the pier and the beaches, as well as footpaths (the beaches on the east coast are connected by a coastal path).
