Бухта Чалонг

A sheltered working bay: a 720 m pier where island and dive boats leave each morning, the yachts' clearance office, and seafood restaurants under the trees.

О месте: Бухта Чалонг

Chalong Bay is the wide, sheltered bay on Phuket's south-east coast, about 10 km south of Phuket Town. Its western shore runs through Chalong and Rawai: a strip of fishing boats, piers, seafood restaurants and, behind them, the wholesale stores and schools along the road to Rawai. It is a working harbour rather than a beach.

Chalong Pier reaches about 720 m into the bay, one of the longest in Thailand, with a walkway beside it. Speedboats and catamarans leave it each morning for Coral Island, the Racha islands, Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay, and many dive boats moor here. A one-stop office at the pier clears yachts in and out of the country, and the bay is the south's base for yachts; Chalong's municipality counts it as the province's first government yacht pier.

Along the shore, Kan Eang@Pier has served seafood under big shade trees next to the pier since 1973, with a cheaper sister restaurant and newer places such as a rooftop café over the bay. Mornings belong to the tour buses and boats; by evening the pier is quiet and the restaurants fill.

Чем хорош Бухта Чалонг

  • The pier for the islands

    Speedboats reach Coral Island in about 15 minutes and the Racha islands in 30 to 40; most tours leave between 08:00 and 09:00, and full-day trips go to Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay.

  • Dive boats

    Many of the island's dive boats moor at the pier and leave from it for the reefs to the south.

  • Seafood by the water

    Kan Eang@Pier, open since 1973, serves blue crab, Phuket lobster and hor mok under shade trees by the pier; its sister Kan Eang 2 is more casual and cheaper.

  • A view of the working bay

    A walkway runs beside the pier, apart from the boats, and the restaurants look out over fishing boats, moorings and the islands beyond.

  • Clearance for yachts

    A one-stop office at the pier handles the paperwork for yachts entering and leaving Thailand; surcharges may apply on weekends and public holidays.

  • Shopping in bulk

    Makro Food Service and GO Wholesale stand side by side on the road behind the bay; a pharmacy nearby should be open around the clock.

Бухта Чалонг: сезоны

November to April: calm seas and dry, sunny days, the main season for island trips and diving from the pier; the boats and the pier car park are busiest in the mornings.

Низкий сезон · с мая по октябрь

May to October: the bay itself is sheltered, but heavy showers are frequent and island tours are delayed or cancelled when the open sea is rough; check before you book.

Бухта Чалонг с детьми

Chalong Bay is a place to start a family day out rather than spend it: there is no swimming beach, but Coral Island's beaches are 15 minutes away by speedboat, and the seafood restaurants have garden tables under the trees. Two international schools lie within the zone.

  • Coral Island is about 15 minutes away by speedboat.
  • The pier is long and unshaded: bring water, hats and sunscreen.
  • Kan Eang@Pier's tables stand under big shade trees by the water.
  • Ruamrudee International School's Phuket campus and BUDS, for ages 1 to 12, are in the zone.
  • A pharmacy nearby should be open around the clock.
