Current Page: Beaches & Bays on Ko Chang --> Salak Phet Bay on Ko Chang in Thailand 1 Page back Salak Phet Bay on Ko Chang in Thailand - Beaches & Bays on Ko Chang - (View from the road into Salak Phet Bay on Ko Chang in Thailand)   About us / Contact    Current Thailand Weather     Sitemap       Currency-Converter    Salak Phet Bay ("Aow Salak Phet") is located in the southeast of Ko Chang and measures 3 kilometres in length and between 1.5 and 2.5 kilometres in width.     In the east of Salak Phet Bay   The viewpoint at the road in the southwest of Salak Phet Bay   Beautifully, the islands "Koh Mapring", "Koh Phrao Nai" and "Koh Phrao Nok" are situated in the mountain-surrounded bay. 3 villages, "Baan Rong Than", "Baan Salak Phet" and "Baan Chek Bae" find protection at the shore of the bay. They are built mostly on stakes into the sea and are inhabited by fishermen, rubber- and coconut-farmers.     At low tide in the Salak Phet Bay     Directly at the road, 500 metres north of "Baan Salak Phet" is a small clinic. A small police box lies directly beside. You will also find a new Temple on the way to the village. Besides there is also a school located outside "Baan Salak Phet". At the southeast end of Salak Phet Bay, there is another beach: "Long Beach" and the "Koh Chang Remembrance"with a naval shrine to the memory of the victims of the sea-battle 1941 (see "What to do on Ko Chang?", "Koh Chang Remembrance - the sunken Warships").   On the way to the remembrance you will find "Long Beach" and you will also pass one of the nicest viewpoints of whole Ko Chang (see 360° VR above, more info here: "What to do on Ko Chang?", "Viewpoints on Ko Chang"). Approximately 2 kilometres northeast from "Baan Salak Phet", the 12-storey Ke Rhepet Waterfall is situated, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view across the bay (see picture on the right - and "What to do on Ko Chang?", "Viewpoints on Ko Chang"). There is another waterfall located in Salak Phet Bay, the Klong Nung Waterfall. Unfortunately we don't have any pictures of it.     Arrival/Departure: Since 2006 there is a direct taxi-boat service, starting from Trat (more information here: "Ko Chang Information", "Arrival and Departure to and from Ko Chang"). As far as we know at the end of 2009 there was still no regular taxi service from the west coast of Ko Chang driving to "Baan Salak Phet", so you have to go there by hired motorbike or car or with an organized tour. Always remain on the main street and you will automatically arrive at "Baan Salak Phet". Taxis to the piers and/or the west coast of Ko Chang are not easy to get, so you should better ask in one of the few resorts.   (Specifications: 2009) All 360° virtual reality panoramas, photographs and panorama pictures from April 2005.
