About
On Koh Samet’s main strip just up from the Koh Samet Police Station, Life Buoy Smallroom & Coffee is exactly what the name promises: a tiny, photo‑ready café with a handful of simple rooms upstairs. The look is clean and minimalist — white walls, blond wood, soft light — a calm little hideaway a few minutes’ walk from Sai Kaew Beach.
Come by for a cool-down between swims or while you wait for friends to land at Na Dan Pier. It’s a relaxed, neighborhood spot where people refuel with iced coffees before heading back out to the sand. The upstairs “small rooms” suit budget travelers who want a central base without beachfront prices, especially handy for last‑minute stays on weekends.
Practical bit: you’re 5–7 minutes on foot from Na Dan Pier and about 3 minutes from Sai Kaew’s northern end, with the police station as your landmark. Hours can vary with island pace — check their page or call ahead to confirm and to ask about room availability. Last checked March 2026.
