Salakphet guesthouses and hotels

What sets Salakphet apart in terms of accommodation is its homestays that give you the chance live alongside a Thai fishing family. Homestays don't restrict your freedom and you don't have to get involved in family life if you don't want to, but it can be a very fun experience. A system of coloured flags has been established in the town to help visitors decide on where to stay. Yellow flags denote homestays, and accommodation at these ranges from floor space with the family to a private guesthouse room. Green flags identify conventional guesthouses. Upmarket accommodation is found on the western side of the bay.

Long Beach is linked to Salakphet via a cliffside road with some very steep sections. Though most of this road is sealed, those daunted by heights should think twice about attempting the trip on motorbike.
