Sakok Village is located on the eastern side of Koh Chang in Trat Province. It is a small fishing village tucked away in a channel within a large bay that resembles an animal pen, surrounded by a mangrove forest that serves as both a source of livelihood and a nursery for various aquatic species. The village has only one outlet to the sea, which is a small narrow passage. At the mouth of the bay, there are Sakok Island and Lim Island, leading this area to be collectively referred to as "Sakok Bay." Visitors to Sakok Village can immerse themselves in the traditional lifestyle of local fishermen who have preserved their way of life. You can paddle a kayak through the mangrove forest at your own pace along the natural canals with vibrant green waters. Along the way, you'll encounter various local plant species typical of the mangrove ecosystem. The village's tourism association provides maps detailing different routes for exploration, or for those looking for a change of scenery, you can opt to take a ride on a traditional “Koh Chang gondola boat.”
