Ban Phe is the best place to enjoy relaxing on a long white sandy beach while sampling sumptuous seafood. Ban Phe is a major fishing community in the province, hence, the wide range of fresh and preserved seafood products or other local products.
Ban Phe is a busy fishing port and the centre of local marine produce. The town of Ban Phe is characterised by narrow streets of shops and houses, It is a stopping off points for tourists en route to the island of Koh Samet. Boats leave regularly for the island from the piers. Shop in the main street stock a wide variety of marine produce and many souvenirs and trinkets fashioned from shells of different shades and sizes.
The tiny grey port town of Ban Phe sees a constant stream of visitors -- though that's only because it's a launchpad for nearby Koh Samet. Cooled by a sea breeze that smells slightly of drying fish, Ban Phe doesn't charm many visitors, and few people spend more than a mandatory 30 minutes or so waiting for a bus or ferry connection out.
There are a few places to eat, sleep and check your email, so don't panic if you get stranded. A number of businesses catering to travellers are clustered in the sois across from the pier. The first floor of the Tan Tan Too has an internet cafe, and Blue Sky Books across the street has a large selection of used titles -- perfect for snapping up something to read on the beach. Most travellers congregate next door at Christie's, a popular bar and restaurant.
