Overview
[Departing from Pattaya] Koh Samae San Snorkeling & Sanctuary of Truth Full-Day Private Tour [tour]

Enjoy a one-day tour combining the untouched beauty of Koh Samae San, with its crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches, and the Sanctuary of Truth, one of Pattaya’s must-see attractions.

This is a taxi tour accompanied by a local driver. If multiple groups are visiting Koh Samae San on the same day, the driver accompanying you may change.

A driver specializing in Koh Samae San will lead the tour. After you leave the island at the end of the tour, you will return to your hotel with the driver you met at the beginning.
Samae San Island (Koh Samae San)
Koh Samae San is managed by the Royal Thai Navy, preserving its pristine, untouched natural environment.

Experience snorkeling and kayaking among the island’s diverse marine life and coral reefs, and take in its beautiful natural surroundings.

You do not need to bring your passport on the tour. However, as access to the island is restricted for foreign visitors, you must provide each guest’s full name in English when booking to gain entry.
Sanctuary of Truth
The Sanctuary of Truth Museum has been under construction since 1981 and is built entirely of wood. It combines Buddhist and Hindu mythology in a religiously inspired design, exploring Eastern and Western philosophies through art and culture.

The Sanctuary of Truth has a dress code, so please avoid wearing short shorts or skirts.

Tips! That’s the Problem.
As tipping may not be familiar to everyone, deciding how much to give can sometimes be tricky.

In Thailand, where the tourism industry is well developed, tipping is a natural part of the experience at tourist destinations. It is therefore customary to give your Guide a small tip as a token of appreciation.

Tipping is not mandatory, but if you are satisfied with the tour, we recommend giving a customary tip of around 100–200 baht per group.
Traveling with bulky luggage? That’s the problem!
Have you checked out of your hotel and are wondering whether you can bring your suitcase on the tour? As tours have been consistently busy lately, suitcases cannot be brought along.

Please note that when the tour is full, bringing additional luggage may inconvenience other guests.

Alternatively, you can use the “Smile Luck Luggage Airport Delivery Service [Bangkok City → Suvarnabhumi Airport Only].” ^^
An additional fee applies to Suvarnabhumi Airport and nearby hotels.
Sedan: 200 THB
SUV / Van: 300 THB
An additional surcharge of 500 THB applies to Don Mueang Airport and nearby hotels.
