Ko
Samet is one of the driest
archipelagoes in Thailand. Ko Samet gets significantly less rainfall
than Rayong Province, even though it is only a few kilometres
offshore. The island's "rainy season" extends only from
May to July,
but even during this season it has less rain that other islands in
Thailand. The island despite being arid, consists of lush forested
hills, covered with evergreen and deciduous forest and cajeput trees
grow abundantly. Owing to the lack of rain,
Ko Samet
still ships in potable water to the
island.
