沙美岛(Koh Samet 或 Samet Island)
被誉为泰国的莎士比亚的 Sunthon Phu 在其著名的泰国文学作品 Phra Aphaimanee 里面形容 Koh Kaew Pitsadan(梦幻水晶岛,据称就是如今的沙美岛)是个美丽的岛屿。在该部文学作品,女主人公逃到这个岛上躲避一个失恋巨人--她非常的伤心,最后死在了这个岛上的水晶沙滩上面。 尽管您在沙美岛 (Koh Samet) 上面看不到这位女主人公的遗骸,您肯定会看到水晶白色的沙滩,尤其是在 Had Sai Kaew 或者 Sai Kaew 海滩上。 沙美岛 (Koh Samet) 是以 Samet 树(玉树)命名的。这种树在岛上随处可见。 想到达该岛,游客必须乘坐当地的渔船,从罗永府 (Rayong Province) Muang 区的 Ban Phe 出发约 30 分钟就可到达。 一些海滩有直接到达的路线,其中包括 Had Sai Kaew 和 Ao Wong Duan,从那里游客们可以通过一个相对原始的内陆道路网步行到其他的海滩。 大部分海滩位于这个 T 形岛屿的北边和东边,只有少数几个(Ao Prao、Ao Kham 和 Ao Kiu Na Nai)在西边。 从 Ban Phea 直接坐轮渡到 Ao Prao 更为方便。
Koh Mun(Mun 群岛)
这些小岛包括 Koh Man Nai、Koh Man Klang 和 Koh Man Nok,距离 Laem Mae Phim 岸上约五公里,以其完美无瑕的白色沙滩而闻名。 Koh Man Nai 已经被开发成一个海龟保护圣地,对公众开放。 Koh Man Klang 和 Koh Man Nok 上的度假村提供膳宿套餐,通常会包括船运和伙食。它们以完美的白色沙滩和时尚精品度假村而闻名。
Koh Talu
A 40-minute speedboat ride from the resort, the island of Koh Talu is a popular destination for when you’d like to try some kayaking, snorkelling and scuba diving. Koh Talu owes its reputation as a tropical island getaway to the powdery white-sand beaches on the south and east of the island, great coral and the natural rocky bridge that protrudes off the northern tip of the island.
Golfing
With over 20 quality golf courses, Pattaya and Rayong are both ideal places to tee off in style. Previously the venue for several US LPGA events, the Old Course and Plantation Course at Siam Country Club are both must-try courses. Previously a members-only course, Burapha Golf Club has hosted several professional tournaments including the 2010 Thailand Open. Other highly popular golf courses include the Pete Dye-designed Khao Kheow Golf Club and the Laem Chabang International Country Club, designed by Jack Nickaus, both featuring 27 holes. Set in wooded, rolling terrain nearby Jomtien, and with views over the Gulf of Thailand, the Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club has three nines designed by Dennis Griffiths. Last but not least, St Andrews 2000 Golf Club in Rayong is rated as one of the region’s most engaging golf courses.
