Side Trip: Ko Samet (Cont)

Plumeria Queen

Continued from previous post

The jungle hike had some points of interest, like ruins of a charcoal kiln and nice views from the top of the hill splitting the island

We booked a snorkel excursion to see some of the smaller islands. Unfortunately the weather was not good, and the visibility was very poor. We hit one spot and I could see that there were some nice fish, but it was very murky. They took us to this island to pay the marine park fee, and they put out fruit, but we stayed there far too long. I guess all the youngsters needed time to get all of their instagram/TikToc videos. After we hit the next snorkeling spot, the wind really kicked up and they bailed out on the last spot. I had no problem with that since the viz was crap anyway, and we had to get back to catch the ferry off the island.

We made it back in time to catch our ferry and said goodbye to the Ao Prao resort, which was a very nice experience. We met our driver who kicked ass and took us to our airport hotel so we could catch our morning flight to the Maldives.
