Ao Prao
อ่าวพร้าว
The only developed bay on Koh Samet's west coast, home to the island's upscale resorts and its best sunset beach.
Ao Prao lies on Koh Samet's west coast, separated from the busy east-side beaches by the island's central hills. It has just two or three upscale resorts, with clean sand and few crowds. Facing west, it is the island's classic sunset beach, where you can order a drink at a resort beach bar and watch the sun go down. From Na Dan Pier, a songthaew or motorbike takes about 10–15 minutes, and the road is steep in places.
