But, due to lengthening of the road, tourism is slowly entering. The coast is very flat and partly overgrown with mangroves. The accessible spots are to a large extent stony, but there are also small, sandy beaches.     On the Dan-Kao-Pier at the East Coast of Ko Chang   At low tide when there is less water big sections of the shore turn into swampy bays. Those who drive along the road to Baan Salak Khok, to Salak Phet Bay or to Long Beach, will appreciate the beauty of this less explored section of the island. All villages along the coast are located at the road, only the 2 southernmost, Baan Khlong Rakam and Baan Khlong Hin Kong, can be reached by boat.   On the east coast you find Ko Chang´s only hospital, directly on the road at Baan Khlong Nonsi, 6 kilometres from the Dan-Kao-Pier in the southern direction. Opening-hours: Mon - Fri from 8.30 - 16.30, there are 2 English-speaking doctors in the hospital. Saturday and Sunday it is only open for emergencies. Tel. 039/58 61 31, 039/58 61 21.     The headquarters of the police is situated 600 metres south of the hospital and can be contacted by telephone on 039/58 61 91 or 039/58 61 20. (See 'Ko Chang Info', 'Malaria Situation, Medical Care & Security on Ko Chang') Arrival/Departure: By boat from Laem-Ngop-Pier either at 1.00 pm to Dan-May-Pier or at 2.00 pm to Than-Mayom-Pier and then onward by taxi. You can get the driver to stop anywhere you want by knocking on the car-body.   If coming by motorbike you must turn left at the intersection of the main street, which is 14 kilometres south of Dan-Kao-Pier. After nearly a kilometre the road forks just after you have crossed a small river. The left road goes to Baan Salak Khok, while the right leads to the south to Baan Chek Bae and to far more distant villages and beaches. The departure times of the taxis to Dan-Kao-Pier are subject to seasonal change, so check in advance. Only in Baan Salak Khok and at the southern end of the island, behind Baan Chek Bae in Salak Phet Bay, accommodation is available. Tents can be rented at the National-Marine-Park-Headquarters, which is also the starting point for a visit to Than Mayom Waterfalls. (Seer 'What to do on Ko Chang', 'The Mu Ko Chang National Marine Park') We point out, that in rainy-season between May and October, at some beaches strong currents may occur! Since people drowned already, we ask you not to ignore the warning-signs!
