This century-old fishing village is nestled within Koh Chang, an island renowned for its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Yet, it's not just natural beauty that Koh Chang boasts; it also conceals the timeless cultural gem that is Ban Salak Khok.The cruise employs a traditional Ruea Mard. Although it shares similarities with Venice's gondola boats, this vessel stands out with its rounded hull design. The boat accommodates up to four passengers around a small rectangular table and provides ample shade with a large umbrella. As you glide along the serene waterways, you'll have the opportunity to observe local fishing life and soak in the peaceful atmosphere, culminating in a truly authentic and relaxing journey towards Salak Khok Bay.For those looking to explore Koh Chang further, there's the option to combine the cruise with a half or full-day private tour. This includes sightseeing highlights of the island from the comfort of an open-air local truck. This combination offers an unparalleled eco-tourism experience, providing a deeper insight into the historic fishing village and its surrounding natural beauty.
