Hotel Overview

Located at 153/112 Koh Samed, Moo 4, Tambon Phe, Amphoe Mueang Rayong, 21160, Samed Your House Family Room is a ground-floor property, making it accessible for travelers with limited mobility and strollers. The entire guesthouse is smoke-free, with spacious family-friendly layouts that include a full kitchenette, separate living area with a sofa and dining space, and a private balcony with mountain views perfect for morning coffee or evening sundowners. The fully equipped kitchen includes a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, electric kettle, and all the cookware you need to prepare simple meals, saving you money on dining out.

The staff speaks both English and Thai, and can arrange paid off-site diving trips for guests. There is no on-site parking, which is standard for small guesthouses on the island, with affordable public parking available a short walk away at the island entrance.

Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are all within a 15-minute drive of the property:

• Ao Phrao Beach: Just 2 kilometers away, this crescent-shaped stretch of powdery white sand and calm turquoise water is ideal for families. Gentle waves make it safe for swimming, and there are plenty of casual beach shacks serving fresh grilled seafood and cold beers for a lazy afternoon picnic.
• Khao Laem Ya National Park: A 10-minute drive from the guesthouse, this coastal park features rugged hiking trails that wind through tropical forest to panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. Keep an eye out for native wildlife like monkeys and tropical birds, and stop at the park’s hidden coves for a quiet swim away from the crowds.
• Sai Kaew Beach: Koh Samet’s most popular nightlife and dining hub is 4 kilometers north of the property. It’s famous for its sunset views, fire dance shows in the evening, and long stretch of soft sand perfect for long walks along the shore.

Travel Tips

Since Koh Samet is a popular weekend getaway for Thais, book your stay at least two weeks in advance, especially between November and February, when the dry season brings ideal beach weather. Pack reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes if you plan to join the arranged diving trip—nearby reefs are home to colorful tropical fish and vibrant coral. Bring cash, as most local shops and beach shacks don’t accept credit cards, and the nearest ATM is a 10-minute walk from the guesthouse. If you’re arriving from the mainland, arrange a shared songthaew (truck taxi) from the Phe Ban Pier to the guesthouse for around 100 THB per person, which is far cheaper than hiring a private transfer.
