TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, Koh Samet is open for tourists and there are currently no signs of oil on the beaches or in the water. However, it appears that the hotels have raised their prices.

Yes it is. No Oil on the beaches or water. Just dead empty! And for what I saw, the hotels rather increased their prices instead of lowering them!

standard logic here...no guests so we'll put up the prices to make up for it 🤣
