Salak Phet Fishing Village & Mangroves
บ้านสลักเพชร
A traditional stilt-house fishing village on Koh Chang's southeastern coast, with seafood restaurants and a mangrove boardwalk. It feels more authentic than Bang Bao.
Salak Phet is one of Koh Chang's oldest fishing villages, with stilt houses lining the bay and villagers making their living from fishing and seafood farming. The seafood restaurants by the pier are cheaper than those on the west coast, serving fresh crab and prawns. Near the village, a mangrove boardwalk runs through the trees, and you can also rent a kayak to paddle into the mangroves at high tide. Nearby Wat Salak Phet houses a large Buddha statue. From the west coast it is about 40 minutes by motorbike, and there are almost no shops along the East Coast Road.
