Tour Highlights
Princess Island, officially Koh Samae San, recently opened to tourists. It belongs to the Thai royal family and is known for its clear waters, peaceful atmosphere, and rich marine life.
The island’s shape resembles a turtle when viewed from above — symbolizing longevity and peace.
This is one of the best places near Pattaya for snorkeling and diving, where you can see coral reefs, colorful tropical fish, sea sponges, and sometimes even turtles or dolphins. Experienced divers can explore a nearby shipwreck.
Before reaching the island, you’ll visit:
- A scenic temple on a cape, offering panoramic sea views.
- A military turtle conservation center, where you’ll see baby turtles being raised before release into the ocean.
On the island:
Relax under a thatched umbrella, snorkel in crystal-clear water, or take a short bicycle ride around the island.
You can also visit a nearby closed beach for photos and swimming.
