After watching travel reviews on Saturday night, we set off on a spontaneous trip on Sunday morning. We usually plan our trips months or even years in advance, but this time we only had a few hours to prepare. We quickly searched for travel options on Google and prayed before bed that there would be tickets available. Amen.
Woke up at 4:30 AM, showered, got dressed, and left the house at 5:00 AM. Still half asleep, I forgot a few things and had to drive back to get them. By the time I left again, it was 5:20 AM. I stopped to buy coffee and use the restroom. I wonder if I'll make it in time to buy a ticket.
The sun has risen, but I haven't reached my destination yet. Just a little more, just a little more.
The GPS guided us all the way, and we were almost there. We heard a voice telling us to turn right, so we did. We turned left when we were told to. Congratulations, you have reached your destination! But... the place in front of us doesn't seem to be the ticket booth. Haha.
After a while, a woman walked out of the alley and hurriedly stopped the car, asking, "Excuse me, where is the ticket booth for Koh Kham?"
"She said, 'I work there.' I screamed… I was more excited than if I had won 30 million baht in the lottery. (Because I don't want to be like Uncle Jaroon or Teacher Preecha, who have been fighting for so long and still haven't finished. Heh heh. But now, I'm close to my goal.)"
The man told the girl to get in the car, saying he would take her himself. He asked her if she worked on Koh Samet and said that it was already 8:00 AM. He wondered if the tickets were sold out yet and said that if they were, he could come visit Koh Samet too because it was beautiful like her.
After dropping off our younger sibling, we quickly got off the car and headed to the ticket booth located at the "Naval Construction and Development Department, Sattahip Naval Base."
Oh no! The line is super long and there are so many people. Will my ticket expire? I better hurry and find a staff member. I heard an announcement that blue tickets are for those who made reservations, while green tickets are for walk-ins. So I quickly grabbed a green ticket. Yay, I got one! What number am I in the queue?
For those who want guaranteed tickets and don't want to take any chances like us, please call 033 124 848 to book in advance during office hours only. Bookings can be made no more than 5 days in advance. However, if you want to test your luck, go for it!
Round-trip ticket price: Adults 250 baht, Children 200 baht. Snorkeling equipment rental is 50 baht (optional).
While waiting, take turns going to the bathroom. Those who have already received their tickets can queue up for the two-row boat to the pier. (It is recommended to divide the tasks: one person per group to book tickets and queue up for the two-row boat, and another to buy lunch boxes to save time.)
Once you have your ticket, please join the queue to wait for your connecting bus.
If you arrive early and are hungry, you can purchase food to eat before or take it with you to the island. (There are also restaurants and beverage services on the island, but they will be slightly more expensive.)
The songthaew has arrived. It took us 1 hour and 20 minutes from the time we arrived until we boarded the songthaew.
The sentence is empty. Please provide a sentence to translate.
A five-minute drive (900 meters) will take you to the queue for the boat. The soldiers will call passengers to board according to the queue number written on the back of your ticket. Our queue number is 560-561. (If the limit was only 300 people, we definitely wouldn't be able to go. I guess they're letting more people in now.)
While waiting to board the boat, I had breakfast that I bought at the ticket booth for 40 baht per box.
Eating while enjoying the view, that's beautiful enough, isn't it?
At the pier of Khao Ma Jor, there are restrooms and shops available. If you are missing anything, you can buy it there. For example, I forgot to bring sunscreen, so I had to buy it again. What a waste of money! I have two tubes at home. Sigh.
When the soldiers called, they lined up to board the boat. (Those who went to Ko Samet also had to board a boat at this pier, but on a different boat.)
Boarding the boat is facilitated by helpful military personnel, making the experience comfortable and safe.
The boat is full.
We arrived later and sat at the bow of the boat, which was a bit hot, but it only took 20 minutes to get there.
As the boat approaches Koh Phi Phi, the soldiers will drop anchor and wait for the small orange boat to pick them up.
The boat has arrived to pick us up.
Life jackets are available for free on the island. Feel free to choose the one you like.
The text describes a location where visitors can borrow mats for free and rent snorkeling equipment for 50 baht.
Here's a breakdown:
- เดินมาอีกนิด: Walk a little further
- จุด: Point, location
- ให้ยืมเสื่อฟรี: Free mat rental
- ถ้าใครจะดำน้ำ: If anyone wants to snorkel
- สามารถเช่าอุปกรณ์ดำน้ำ: Snorkeling equipment can be rented
- ราคา 50 บาท: Price 50 baht
Having secured the mat (fearing it would run out, haha), I turned to look at the sea. Oh my, I screamed! The sea is so beautiful!
The beauty is comparable to the Andaman Sea.
As they strolled in search of a spot to lay down their mat, they encountered a large crowd. Every spot with a tree was already occupied by people eager to claim their place.
After laying out the mat, they walked around taking pictures.
Beautiful, clear, and even more so.

Don't miss the opportunity to walk to the wooden bridge, a popular spot. It can get crowded, but not too much.
After exploring, we walked back to our picnic spot and sat down to enjoy the view.
Today, we didn't play in the water (but we brought our clothes and goggles, haha). After sitting for a while, we got hungry. We looked to the left and saw a small cafe that also served noodles. We ordered some and it was the perfect atmosphere.
While my partner rests after a satisfying meal, I'll explore the island. Hehehe.
Walking past the restaurant, beyond the boat dock, the beach is deserted. Perhaps the lack of coral deters swimmers. Regardless, the solitude offers unobstructed photo opportunities and breathtaking views.
Let's go find some coral. Found one branch already.
Looking ahead, there is no one. Let's go and see.
Oh my! There are many shards of broken glass. We must be careful where we step. However, there are also many pieces of coral debris.
Crystal-clear seawater, no matter how hot it is, is a sight to behold.
The following is a translation of the provided text from Thai to English:
Looking back, I see. Oh, people don't like to play around here because there are a lot of rocks.
Let's walk up to the viewpoint and see what's there.
Walking alone, step by step.
Hundreds of people live on the island, but few will come here .... I'm starting to get scared. Should we go back? (As the old saying goes, one person loses their head, two people die as friends. If I had known, I would have brought three people instead. Haha)
Will I get lost? After a while, I saw a sign, which was a relief.
Relief washed over me as I finally encountered tourists.
Climb up to find this.
The following is a translation of the provided text:
I want to go back already. I'm sweating all over, but I have to keep going.
Oh my god! I want to go down, but why do I have to climb more and more? T_T
As I was walking, the group of children I had just passed walked very close to me. I stopped to let them pass, but they didn't. I continued walking, and they followed me. I stopped again, and they stopped too. I turned around to look, and there was no one there! But I could still hear footsteps.
After regaining my composure, I realized it was just my own panting. I was startled for a moment. Haha.
We have reached the summit to enjoy the view.
When asked if I am tired, I must say that I am very tired.
You're already downstairs. Did we come up here to shower or something? T_T
I walked past it and had to go back to read it again. Oh, I almost failed Thai.
Upon reaching the beach, I ventured towards the back, where I found myself completely alone amidst an abundance of garbage. Despite the numerous trash cans available, it was evident that people were not using them. Let us all strive to maintain the cleanliness of our environment so that future generations can continue to appreciate its beauty.
Walking past the restaurant, it had everything I needed.
However, the restaurant is crowded and there are no available seats. It's probably best to avoid it.
Next to the restaurant, there are free restrooms and showers available.
The island has a first-aid station to provide basic medical care for tourists.
After resting for a while, it is better to go back. On the way back, it will start at 13.00. But around noon, some people have already returned because the boat service is available all the time. Don't worry, the officer will definitely not let you be stranded on the island.
Goodbye, see you again soon.
We have arrived.
If you arrive by van, there will be a blue songthaew to take you to the van terminal for a fare of 20 baht. This service is very convenient and will take you directly to the pier.
We then took a free white songthaew back to the ticket booth, just like on the way there.
On the way back, I stopped by the W. Chokchai Navy Market to buy seafood.
Sea bass with fried + sauce = 250 baht, sweet clams 140 baht per kilogram, squid 150 baht per kilogram, let the vendor cook it. I must say it's very delicious, fresh food, delicious dipping sauce, I'm impressed, I'll come back to buy again.
No problem! Here's the translation:
Equally delicious to razor clams, but more importantly, it's cheaper!
Safe journey home. A day trip is a great way to explore Thailand. Why pay more for a vacation in Thailand? Right? ... Bye
