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 locate 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 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"). At the end of 2006 there was no regular taxi service from the west coast of Ko Chang driving to the Baan Salak Phet, so you have to go there by hired motorbike or car. 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: 2006)   Pictures of Salak Phet Bay:
