The boat to Koh Samet is paid separately at the pier.
Pickup is from your hotel, condo or villa anywhere in Pattaya, Jomtien, Naklua or Na Jomtien at one price.
By bus, minivan or train
Public transport is cheaper per person, but it runs on its own timetable and stops at a bus or train station, so you still need a way to your hotel from there. With luggage, with children or on a tight connection the extra changes cost time. Check the last departure of the day before you choose it.
When the taxi is the better choice
You start from a hotel and want the car at the door at a time you choose, without carrying the bags to a station. The trip ends at the pier, so the arrival time on the road decides which boat you catch. A group of up to 9 people travels in one car and pays one price.
