Koh Samet Island
Just a short ferry trip from Ban Phe ferry pier, Ko Samet is a favorite weekend beach getaway for expats and locals alike. However, most tourists head further south. The island is protected as part of Khao Laem Ya – Mu Ko Samet National Park, making it clean and relatively unspoiled. The ferry runs from 08:30 until 16:30, perfect for a day trip or stop over for a night at one of the resorts. Ask our staff and they will be happy to help you.Mae Rampheung Beach
Just a short walk from Linda’s Place, Mae Rampheung Beach is never crowded. Jog, stroll, fish or swim the street vendors patrolling the road that runs the length of the beach will keep you stocked with food and drink.
Khao Laem Ya National Park
A beautiful day out with plenty of photo opportunities. Stunning landscape and lots of wildlife, monkeys, lizards and birds of all shapes and sizes.
Khao Chamao - Khao Wong National Park
Named after the two mountains, the park covers 84km 2 . It is a popular destination for it’s waterfalls, viewpoints, caves, limestone mountains, cliffs and hiking trails. The mountains reach about 1,000m above sea level and are an important refuge for wildlife. Those visitors who take the time to trek deep into the reserve may come across animals such as elephant, gaur, serow, bear, leopard, leopard cat, pileated gibbon, banded langur and wild boar. And birds such as Siamese fireback, wreathed hornbill, great hornbill, lineated barbet and Indian roller.
Khao Chamao Waterfall Nam Dtok Chamao
The waterfall is 8-tiered, but only first 7 tiers are accessible to the public by a 1.7 km easy to moderate trail. The waterfall has enough water all year round, but with much less water and is crystal clear during the dry season. It is possible to swim in some of the ponds but the water stream can be quite strong during the rainy days in rainy season.
