      Wat Salak Phet is the oldest temple on Ko Chang, built to commemorate King Rama V’s visit to the island in the early 20th century. It became a spiritual center for the local community and has remained a symbol of devotion and tradition ever since. The temple’s age is starting to show, with weathered walls and faded details that give it a quiet, timeless character.
