Ao Noi Na Beach, Koh Samet
Ao Noi Na lies on the northern coast of Koh Samet, near the fishing village, and is calm and less touristy than the beaches around Sai Kaew. A walking path joins it with Sai Kaew, so it works as a quiet base close to the pier.

The bay
The beach is clean, with warm water that is not turquoise. A few hotels share it, among them a seaside resort. The pace is slow, and the evening noise of Sai Kaew is a short walk away if you want it.
The village nearby is the working part of the island, where fishing boats come and go.
Short distance from the pier
Because it is in the north, Ao Noi Na is among the closest bays to the arrival pier. Per person the ferry fare is 70 THB one way or 120 THB return, the crossing is 30 to 40 minutes, and the last sailings leave at 18:00 every day. The walk to Sai Kaew along the coast path is easy.
The car to the pier costs the same for any pier in Ban Phe, and the table above has the figures. The pier is chosen in the order form; all eight piers are described on their own pages.
Who it suits
Families and travellers who want quiet near the pier. For a livelier beach see Sai Kaew, and for the full list the Koh Samet page.
