| 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 and
around 1 kilometre west before the inlet to the Salak Phet
Bay (Aow Salak Phet).
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.
End of 2006 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:
The beach
can be reached by chartered boat, motorbike or car. 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. After a few kilometres
you have to take a dirt track to the left to reach Wai
Chek Beach. There are no signs, so it's
really difficult to find this wonderful beach!

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! |
