Although the east coast of Koh Chang has tried to preserve its more agricultural face, it doesn’t mean that it did not attempt to venture into the tourism business. As a matter of fact, there is a yacht berthing facility at the tip of the east coast, Ao Salak Phet. |

This is the one and only mooring service on the island. If you prefer to cruise your way into the island, the marina provides launching, wet and dry berth retrieving, supplies and other maintenance services. Not only that, the place is also planning to open its yacht charter service on the island together with a partner firm. The marina also offers speedboat transportation service to other islands for island hopping and snorkeling trips. |
