Small local shops and traditional restaurants are also available, making this a convenient place to prepare before exploring nearby destinations and other Phang Nga attractions.

One of the most distinctive scenes here is the loading of motorbikes onto long-tail boats using wooden planks, along with the friendly smiles of locals welcoming visitors.
