Getting to Koh Samet is quite straightforward. Buses run from the Eastern (Eckamai) Bus Station to Baan Phe. The boat and ferry connections are quite obvious. And the fare is quite reasonable.

Haad Saikhaew (White Sand Beach) is an easy walk from Nadan Pier. Transportation will be available, but try to avoid the bungalow and guest house touts. They get a commission they may take you to a different accommodation that you requested.
