Weekending in Ko Samet

17 So close to Bangkok and oh so pretty, Ko Samet (Click here) is the perfect beach when your time is pinched. The jungle eclipses development, the sand and sea are tropically proportioned and a wooded coastal trail skirts between rocky headlands and a string of beautiful coves. People watch by day, party by night on the popular northern beaches or hide away on the southern beaches for a well-earned nap. When your vacation is over, board the boat and be back in Bangkok by lunchtime.
