Bang Bao Bay (Aow Bang Bao) is a well protected bay at the southwest end of Ko Chang. It measures about 1 kilometre in width and in length.

The quaint fishing village at Baan Bang Bao is built on stakes far out into the bay and has become quite a popular tourist attraction. There are many restaurants offering a rich selection of fresh seafood and a few small shops selling souvenirs or refreshments.

The village has a clinic (opening-hours: 8.30 am - 4.30 pm ) and just outside on the road is the school and local temple Wat Bang Bao. Roughly a kilometre southeast is a viewpoint, which offers a beautiful view into the bay and the village.

Directly behind there is a beautiful sandy beach where there was still no accommodation as of December 2004. The beach is some 100 metres long and usually quite quiet.

Arrival & Departure: From the Dan-Kao-Piers Baan Bang Bao can be reached by taxi at 4.00 pm for 80 Baht in approximately 1 - 1.5 hours. The departure times of the taxis to Dan-Kao-Pier are subject to seasonal change, so check in advance. There is accommodation in the village and on the coast around the bay.
