Strategically located only half a day by bus from Bangkok, the little 6 by3 KM dagger shaped island of Ko Samet is known as the perfect Week-end escape route for Bangkokians, expats and tourists alike looking to chill out with friends and family for a few days.優越的地理位置，只有一半每天從曼谷乘巴士，小六少了份知識尖刀形island of高沙湄島是被稱為 perfect週 - end退路的Bangkokians，外籍人士和遊客都looking to寒冷的朋友和家人作以數天。 Pattaya?芭堤雅？ Definitely out of the question if you want some relaxation… Ko Chang?肯定出了問題，如果你想要一些放鬆 ...高張？ Too much distance to travel on such a short trip, so Ko Samet is just right.太多的距離，這麼短的旅行行程，所以高薩梅特是恰到好處。 The island is mostly famous for its coastline made up of fourteen beautiful powdery white sandy beaches lapped by crystal clear waters.島上主要是聞名的海岸線組成的14個美麗的粉白色的沙灘舔了清澈的水域。 Not to forget the perfect all year long weather since statistically wise, it offers more days of sunshine than any other island of the Kingdom of Thailand.不要忘記完美的天氣，因為常年統計明智的，它提供了更多天的陽光比任何其他島嶼王國泰國。

Ko Samet's east coast is by far the most popular among visitors since it has the vast majority of the island's beaches, all the nightlife and most of the bars, restaurants and accommodations.高沙湄島的東海岸，是目前最流行的是遊客，因為它有絕大多數的島嶼的海灘，所有的夜生活和大部分的酒吧，餐廳和住宿。 The west coast features only a minuscule tucked away beach surrounded by a few expensive resorts.西海岸的功能只是一個微不足道的局促海灘周圍有幾個昂貴的度假勝地。 The north is the calmest of all with just a few guesthouses built along the rocky shoreline that you can notice as you approach the island by ferry.北方是最平靜的一切，只需幾個賓館建成沿海岸線的岩石，你可以注意到當你接近島渡輪。 Be aware that as things get packed and while the nightlife is without any doubt fun on weekends and public holidays the rates can accordingly skyrocket by 60%.要知道，由於事態，而包裝和夜生活的樂趣，是毫無疑問，在週末及公眾假期的率可以相應地飛漲了60％。 If you are lucky you might still be able to find some basics bungalows in high season at 500-600 baht but since this is on a 1st arrived, 1st served basis those are the ones who tend to go the fastest.如果你是幸運的你可能仍然可以找到一些基本的平房在旺季在500-600銖，但由於這是一個第一到達，第一額滿即止的往往是那些誰去最快。

While Ko Samet probably can't compare with places in the south such as雖然高薩梅特可能無法比較的地方，例如在南部 Ko Phi Phi閣披披 in pure beauty, I found the overall experience to be more pleasant and authentic.  The balance was just perfect and I didn't feel like in some tourist ghetto surrounded by 85%+ of other Caucasians. I know some people have absolutely no problem with this but in my case you definitely need to be around Thais to feel like being on vacation in Thailand and not like some beach in Spain back in the Europe.在純粹的美，我找到了整體體驗更加愉快和真實。只是完美的平衡，我不喜歡在一些旅遊貧民窟包圍了85％+其他白種人。我知道有些人是絕對沒有問題的這一點，但在我的情況你一定要左右被泰國人感到像在泰國度假，而不是像一些海灘在西班牙回到了歐洲。

Since Ko Samet is part of the Khao Laem Ya-Mu Ko Samet National Park  you will have to fork out an entry fee of 200 baht per person for foreigners and 40 baht for Thais.  One wonders where the money really is invested since like so many other Parks in the rest of Thailand the typical ban on buildings has been brushed off and you'll find over 30 resorts operating here.由於高薩梅特是部分考倫山雅木高沙湄島國家公園你將不得不花上一報名費每人200銖，40銖，外國人對泰國人。一個奇蹟這些錢確實是因為像許多投資其他園區，其餘的泰國典型禁止在建築物已被掃除了，你會發現這裡 30多個度假村經營。 Anyhow the good news is the Royal Forest Department actually very recently cut the price of entry in half from the outrageous 400 baht they used to charge.無論如何，好消息是皇家森林部實際上最近降價進入一半來自 400泰銖的荒謬他們使用收費。 Who knows maybe they had a bad conscience…誰知道也許他們有一個壞良心...
