Bang Bao Bay (Ao Bang Bao) is a well protected bay on the southernmost point of Koh Chang.  One of the most popular attractions is the fishing village of Baan Bang Bao, which is built on stakes out into the bay.  A number of colorful fishing boats are moored at the end of the pier, some active fishing vessels and others purely for tourists.

Bang Bao has also become the island's diving hub, often sought out on a Bang Bao Bay boat charter.  A number of nearby restaurants specialize in freshly caught seafood and many small shops sell souvenirs.

To the east of the pier are quiet stretches of beach.  Visitors are able to cross a narrow bridge over a lagoon and visit another beach, Kong Gloi.  Kong Gloi has a few huts offering traditional thai massages and cold drinks. The beach offers stunning views of the neighboring islands and back to the pier at Bang Bao.
