Salakphet

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. Accommodation at these places ranges from floor space with the family to a private guesthouse room. There are also a bunch of guesthouses and a few resort like hotels. Upmarket accommodation is found on the western side of the bay.

Jek Bae

On the eastern side of Salakphet Bay is a string of mid-range resorts and a tiny village known as Jek Bae. The resorts are universally spread out and quiet even during the high season, so visitors pretty much have to make their own fun. It’s far less built up that Salakphet. Whereas Salakphet houses a large fishing community, this area is predominantly resorts. It provides an extremely laid back feeling and is a far cry from the mass urbanisation of Ko Chang's west coast. Some small beaches can be found here, and stunning views can be seen from nearly everywhere. During the green season its virtually empty and good bargains can be had; don’t be afraid to haggle.

Long Beach

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.
