Tubtim Resort

Tubtim Resorts sits at the heart of gay Koh Samet. The resort occupies half of the beautiful Tubtim beach (Ao Thap Thim - อ่าวทับทิม, อ่าวพุทรา). Tubtim’s is a family-friendly mixed resort but very popular with LGBT travelers. Bungalows range from budget-friendly Fan Rooms up to more comfortable aircon Sea View Rooms.

The beach restaurant is an absolute must, many people spend days lounging at the tables with their feed in the sand watching the world go by. Pro-tip try their signature Fried Pork Neck (Ko Mu Yang คอหมูย่าง) and the beach BBQ in the evenings. Tubtim beach becomes the meeting point for all the island gays during the late afternoons on Thai holiday weekends when the island’s gayness peaks.
