Ban Phe Pier
Tourist attraction
👍 This is an efficient enough pier to get to Samet Island from the mainland with either speedboats (250 b, 20 minutes) or slow boats (50 b, 45 minutes). It seems chaotic, but there is a system and things seem to keep moving. There are drinks, cafe and snacks avaliable in the building along with variou...

White stone
Tourist attraction
😠 Nothing to see here. Beach is very dirty with a lot of plastics, glass bottles, cigarettes, motors, oils, what else? It just look like a dump. Sidewalks not maintained and one could easily get injured.

Sunset view point
Observation deck
👍 Very nice viewpoint with big, good rocks to sit on (which are still warm from the sun heat of the day). The route to come there is really easy so doable for everyone but if you go back when it's dark, it's dark! There is almost no street illumination so take lanterns.
