The cute little beach of Ao Tubtim is also known as Ao Phutsa and is home to the long-running and very popular Tub Tim Resort – one of our favourite places on Ko Samet.
Many travellers seem to agree, as this beach attracts a steady trade of regular visitors, foreigners and Thais alike, and over weekends and holidays the accommodation can be packed.

The bay is pleasant and reasonably sheltered although, as with most of Ko Samet's beaches, there isn't too much in the shade department. Ao Tubtim is a good swimming beach with just a couple of small patches of rocks you'll need to dodge. Come the evening, the only bar is the Lighthouse, where you can play pool or try out their sublime lemon teas.

As for accommodation there are only two options, and when it comes to eating there are even fewer. Praise be then to Tub Tim Resort, which manages to provide excellent beds and food. Their seafood is outstanding, and while the service can be a little offbeat, it all comes with a smile.

 

Overall, this is a great beach either to stay at or visit on a day trip. Tubtim tends to attract many return visitors, season after season and year after year. It's near enough to the busier beaches if you want action, but far enough away that it's easy to relax as well.
