AO HIN KHOK BEACH

Ao Hin Khok beach located at the east coast of Samet Island and south of Sai Kaew beach. Hin Khok beach’s size is about half of Hat Sai Kaew beach but just as pretty – the rocks that give the beach its name add a certain character. Hin Khok beach is separated from Sai Kaew beach by a rocky point surmounted by a mermaid statue, a representation of the mermaid that carried the mythical Phra Aphaimani to Samet Island in the Thai epic of the same name. Ao Hin Khok beach and Ao Phai beach, the next inlet south, offer the advantage of having among the least expensive huts on the Samet Island along with reasonably priced restaurants serving good food.
