The quaint fishing village Baan
Bang Bao is built on stakes far out into the bay and
has become quite a popular attraction. Many seafood restaurants
offer a rich selection of fresh seafood and small shops sell
souvenirs or refreshments. Also a lot of diving schools are
located, for example the dive center BB
DIVERS.
The village has a clinic and just outside on the road is the school
and local temple Wat Bang Bao.
In 2008 the pier was extended and a big lighthouse was built at the very end of it. |

Roughly a kilometre southeast is a viewpoint,
which offers a beautiful view into the bay and the village
(see 'What
to do on Ko Chang?', 'Viewpoints
on Ko Chang').
Directly after the viewpoint there is a beautiful sandy beach
located (Haad Klong Kloi) where only a few bungalow resorts located. The beach is some
100 metres long and you'll only find a small restaurant, some
fruit-bars with sunchairs and some women who offer traditional
Thai massage. |
