Ban Phe is on the Gulf coastline of Eastern Thailand, in Rayong Province. It is about 25 km from the town of Rayong, between Sattahip and Chanthaburi.
[edit] Understand
Ban Phe is the gateway to Ko Samet. Ferries between Ban Phe and Ko Samet usually take 20-45 minutes, depending on the speed of the boat and which beach/pier they use.
[edit] Get in
There are direct 1st class air-con buses between Ekamai (Eastern) Bus Terminal in Bangkok and Ban Phe, departing hourly. Bangkok Airport Limousines [1] will drive you to the pier in 2.5 hours or less in a luxury sedan. Taxi's will want to negotiate a rate before accepting the ride, because they run a risk of coming back empty.
