The bay is approximately 1 kilometres wide,
up to 2 kilometres long and only connected to the sea by a
narrow passage. It is very flat and completely scattered with
islands of mangroves. It is one of the best-preserved
mangrove-forests in the whole of Thailand.
In 2005 a concret bridge was built through parts of the mangrove-forests.
On the tour you will find signs with all information about
the mangroves and the animals living there - very interesting
and absolutely commandable! (You'll find the entrance at the
mainroad before the turn-off to Baan Salak Khok.) |
 |
|
Also organized kayak tours can be made through
the mangrove-forests - just look for the signs at the road
in the village!
The quiet fishing village
Salak Khok (Baan
Salak Khok), located at the southern edge of the bay,
is built, to a large extent, on stakes into the bay and many
of the houses are connected with small timber bridges.
Besides there is a school and a temple located outside the
village. |

At the end of the bay there is a small viewpoint,
from where you have a beautiful view into the Salak Khok Bay
(see the VR above, more information here: 'What
to do on Ko Chang?', 'Viewpoints
on Ko Chang').
Arrival/Departure:
At the end of 2006 there was no regular taxi service from
the west coast of Ko Chang
driving to the Baan Salak
Khok, so you have to go there by hired
motorbike or car. 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: the left road goes
to Baan Salak Khok,
while the right leads to the south to "Baan
Chek Bae", "Koh
Chang Remembrance" and "Long
Beach". and to far more distant
villages and beaches. |
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. Accommodation is available
in Baan Salak Khok.
