The long and out of the way Ao Wai is a pleasant well-shaded spot that is home to Ko Samet's most eclectic resort, which stretches for the entire length of the beach.

For those seeking small crowds and a quiet natural atmosphere, Ao Wai could be the answer.

Not quite as isolated as Ao Kiu Na Nok in the far south, this bay is still isolated enough to deter most daytrippers, but close enough to neighbouring Ao Thian that should you want to go elsewhere for a drink or a meal it's not a major expedition.

The single resort on the beach stands out thanks to its huge range of room styles, making it the most unusual place on the island.

The swimming is great, with a gentle drop off and enough shade around to not fret over the lack of beach umbrellas.

If you don't stay here, be sure to make the effort to visit -- it is worth the walk.

(Remotely sensible, non-ranting comments are much appreciated. If you don't like somewhere, please explain why -- it's all far more helpful for others that way.) Serial ranters, loons and spammers will be banished!

Note: Ratings are OUT OF TEN -- not five!
Please note comments are edited for clarity, typos and style before they appear. Ranting tirades, spam and anything else that really belongs somewhere else won't make the cut. If you want to rant, go to Thorntree.
