Samed Resorts has opened Samed Club on Samed Island in the eastern
seaboard of Thailand, about a one-hour drive from Pattaya and a 2.5
hour drive from the new Bangkok International Airport.The small
island of Samed, famous for its fine white sands, sits about three
kilometres offshore.
     
The 30-room resort on the
island’s Noi Na beach is being marketed as a modern, comfortable
and competitively priced option on the northern side of the island,
looking back to the mainland.
     
“Samed Club is easy to
get to and easy to enjoy, with the emphasis on informality, modern
tropical design and uncomplicated comfort. It’s a place for the
young at heart,” says designer Mr Wit Ariyasriwatana of the
qBism Studio Company in Bangkok who created the minimalist rooms to be
simple and uncluttered, but with modern functionality.
     
The restaurant patio is right
beside the beach adjacent to a swimming pool and a patio area suitable
for reading in the shade by day, or relaxing with friends after
sunset.
     
Each room reflects the concept
of modern simplicity. The rooms have satellite TV, IDD phone,
fridge/minibar and bathroom amenities. Samed Club provides free
shuttle boat transfers up to four times a day to the jetty 150 metres
from the resort.
     
Sailing, scuba diving,
windsurfing, canoeing and snorkelling are all bookable from Samed
Club, the newest resort on Rayong’s most popular
island.
     
“We think people will
find Samed Club a refreshing alternative option on the Samed
scene,” says the hotel’s manager Ms Bhaka Phinichmontree.
