Wai Chek Beach ("Haad
Wai Chek"), also Wai Check Beach or Wai Chaek Beach,
is a 300 metre long beautiful sand beach, which is considered
to be one of the most beautiful beaches on Ko Chang. |

It is located approximately 5 to 6 kilometres
southeast from Baan Bang Bao (the fisherman village in Bang Bao Bay) and
around 1 kilometre west before the inlet to the Salak Phet
Bay (Aow Salak Phet), almost exactly in the centre of the south of Ko Chang.
On the southern side it is limited by a small river, whose
banks are closely covered by mangroves. The river estuary
is broad and suitable for swimming, as well as the sea in
front of the sandy beach. |

In the flat land behind the beach is a coconut plantation that is farmed by a Thai family living there.
End of 2009 there was (still) no accommodation at "Haad
Wai Check", so this beach is the only one on the entire island that doesn't locate neither a hotel nor a bungalow resort! |

Arrival & Departure:
Wai Chek Beach can be reached by chartered boat, motorbike or car including a short walk. At the
south western end of Salak Phet Bay there is an artificial
lake with a restaurant built on stakes (on the left hand side).
Opposite is a small "checkpoint" with an open gate:
drive into the small asphalt road to the right. After a few kilometres
you'll reach a bridge that fell down. If you'll walk further on after a few hundred metres you have to take a dirt track to the left to reach Wai
Chek Beach.
As there are no signs it's
quite difficult to find this wonderful beach!

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! |
