Koh Samet – Thaitropic.com

... is one of the eastern seaboard islands of Thailand.

It is in the Gulf of Thailand off the coastline

of the Thai province of Rayong,

approximately 220 kilometres southeast of Bangkok.

Ko Samet is the largest and westernmost of a cluster of islands

not far from the coast.

Popular with foreign tourists and as a weekend getaway

for residents of nearby Bangkok, most of the island

(excluding the Na Dan area)

is in the Khao Laem Ya–Mu Ko Samet National Park.

Ko Samet is one of the driest archipelagos in Thailand.

Ko Samet gets significantly less rainfall than Rayong Province,

even though it is only a few kilometres offshore.

Owing to the lack of rain, Ko Samet must import

potable water from the mainland.
