The Cocoon – Koh Samet
Koh Samet Explorer Series
Ninety percent of visitors to Koh Samet never leave the beach in front of their hotel. The Explorer Series exists for the other ten percent – the ones who want landmarks, back roads, and the parts of the island most people go home without seeing.

Island Treasure Hunt
Ten landmarks spread across the island – from the mythical statues at the pier and Sai Kaew to sacred shrines and a hidden viewpoint most guests never find. The first six are all walkable. The last four require a bit more effort.
Hall of Fame
Guests who complete a challenge and tag their photos get listed here – Explorer for hitting the main tier, Legend for going all the way. The Hall of Fame is updated as submissions come in.
