How to get there:

By coach: from Bangkok's Ekamai Bus Terminal to Ban Phe, 135 baht (1st class)

Timetable:

Bangkok to Ban Phe: 5:00 h, every hour between 7:00 h and 15:00 h, 16:30 h, 18:00 h, 19:00 h, 20:30 h

Ban Phe to Bangkok: 4:00 h, 5:00 h, every hour between 9:00 h and 19:00 h

 

Ferry to Ko Samet

The ferries leave from Nuanthip Pier in Ban Phe "on demand". This means the boatmen will wait for as many passengers as possible. Can be quite an annoying waiting time.

There is a phone number for the ferry pier: 038-651508 and 038-651513. (I suspect you won't get far with English here but I haven't tried.)
