Chalong Bay - Phuket, Thailand

Chalong is on the south east coast of Phuket, a popular area for boat moorings. The muddy shore line makes it unsuitable for swimming but ideal for the boat lagoon marina. The three main marinas in Phuket are located only a short drive from Chalong. It is a very popular area for yachting enthusiasts as there is ideal mooring facilities and amateur yacht races.

Perhaps the most noticeable feature of Chalong is the 720 meter pier, which replaced the old wooden pier in 2001. In addition to the pier there is an excellent fish restaurant overlooking the beach and Chalong bay. There are also a large number of speed boat tour boat that take day trips to Krabi and Phi Phi Island, at a very reasonable rate.

Chalong is located in the east coast of Phuket only a short distance south from Phuket town.

Chalong is not a very popular tourist resort due simply to the fact that the beaches in Patong, Karon and kata are considered to be better. The are however, a small number of hotels most of which cater to long term visitors. The Pier Hotel is a long stay apart/hotel that caters for foreigners looking for a semi-permanent residents.
