From the arrival pier to your beach
When booking a boat from Ban Phe, ask which Ko Samet pier it uses. Arriving at Na Dan means continuing across the island to your hotel and Sai Kaew Beach. Ask what transfers are included. Park entry conditions are separate from the boat fare, so ask whether admission is included and what other entry requirements apply.
Swimming, waves and local conditions
Before entering the sea, look at the flags, the permitted area and the day’s waves. Follow local instructions. Do not enter when a flag or instruction prohibits it, even if the sea appears calm.
Do not swim while red flags are flying. Read the marine forecast before leaving and follow local swimming instructions after arrival. Waves and weather may delay or cancel boat trips, so ask about bad-weather conditions when booking.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Sai Kaew Beach in Sattahip?
No. This Sai Kaew is on Ko Samet off Rayong. Sattahip has another beach of the same name. Include Ko Samet when searching for Sai Kaew Beach directions or accommodation.
Does the boat from Ban Phe land directly on the beach?
You may need to continue from the arrival pier. If arriving at Na Dan, travel from there to your hotel and Sai Kaew. Ask the boat operator about the arrival point and included transfers, and review national park entry conditions as well.
Can I enter the water when there is a red flag?
No. A red flag means swimming is prohibited. Even if the sea looks calm, stay out of the water and spend your time on the shore.
