Chalong District in Phuket is not a beach at all, but only an area and an excellent bay for mooring ships and yachts in the southeastern part of the island (Chalong on the island map). Do not even consider this place as a holiday area if you want to enjoy a beach holiday within walking distance from your hotel. The water here is dirty, boats and yachts are moored everywhere, tides "They're taking it away" water from the shore for hundreds of meters. The maximum you can count on is to sunbathe by the sea. And the nearest good Kata Beach is located on the other side of the island (on the west coast) 6 kilometers from here.

But, nevertheless, it is not uncommon to see foreigners in the Chalong area. The area is very popular as a place where you can find an inexpensive house or a room for a long stay, and it is also an ideal place for owners of yachts and ships. If you are planning to go to Phuket for the winter to relax and work, you can start looking for housing in this area, because it has all the necessary infrastructure for a long-term stay. At the same time, the purely tourist infrastructure here is poorly developed: there are few hotels, there are almost no European restaurants, and there are no travel agencies to be found. But many of the island's popular attractions and entertainment are located here (Big Buddha, bird park, shooting range, quad bike safaris, elephant nurseries, Thai boxing training centers, etc.)

The area is also popular as a starting point for excursions and diving routes to nearby islands. If you came to the island not for a beach holiday, but in order to explore the underwater world of neighboring islets, there is no better place to stop.

Going here, you should be ready to rent a transport, which is easy to do: motorbikes are rented here, as well as everywhere else on the island.

You can get to Chalong District by Songthaew minibus from the parking lot in the center of Phuket Town (see Phuket bus stations) for 40 baht (See today's Thailand currency exchange rate).

Hotels in Chalong district a little. Mostly they live here in rented houses and rooms.
