О месте: Чалонг
Chalong is a subdistrict of Mueang Phuket in the south of the island, about 9 km from Phuket Town. It borders Wichit to the north, Rawai to the south and Karon to the west, and opens east onto Chalong Bay. Its municipality covers about 25 km² and ten villages, from Khao Noi and Na Yai to Chalong and Yot Sane.
The name is thought to come from Wat Chalong, the island's main Buddhist temple, founded in the 1830s; its 60 m Grand Chedi rises beside the main road. On the bay, Chalong Pier is the main departure point for day trips to Coral Island, Racha and the other southern islands.
Chalong has no real town centre and no swimming beach. Life runs along a few main roads around Chalong Circle, the area's busiest junction: malls and supermarkets, clinics, cafés, and the Muay Thai camps and gyms of Soi Ta-iad.
It is a place to live rather than a resort. Long-term residents and families choose it for the international schools, the shops and its central position, with the beaches of Rawai, Nai Harn, Kata and Karon a short drive away.

The pier for the islands

Жильё: Чалонг
Chalong is mostly houses and pool villas in estates off the main roads, townhouses and low-rise condos, with more space for the money than near the beaches. Homes close to the schools and Chalong Circle are the most practical for daily life.
Чалонг: сезоны
Низкий сезон · с мая по октябрь
May to October: Chalong Bay is sheltered, but heavy showers are frequent and some island trips are cancelled when the sea is rough. Schools, gyms and shops run as usual.
Чалонг с детьми
Chalong is the south's school belt: international schools, Russian-language schools, malls and clinics sit close together, and the beaches are a short drive away.
- BCIS (two campuses), Buds, Ruamrudee, Prasan Gateway, Kinderville Nova and Montessori House are in Chalong.
- Russian-speaking families have Bukva and a branch of Rassvet.
- Robinson Lifestyle's top floor has a children's play park.
- Phuket Bird Park and the elephant reserve make easy half-day outings.
Как добраться: Чалонг, парковка
- Из аэропорта, на машине
- 45–65 мин
- Из Патонга, с учётом пробок
- 20–35 мин
- Из Пхукет-тауна
- 15–25 мин
Chalong lies at the crossroads of the south: Chao Fa West Road runs north to Phuket Town, and roads fan out to Rawai, Kata and Karon. The airport Smart Bus does not pass through, so most people drive or ride.
- На машине. Phuket Town is about 9 km away; plan around Chalong Circle at rush hour.
- На скутере. The usual way around; the main roads are busy and fast.
- Grab и такси. Ride apps and taxis work across the area and to the airport.
- На лодке. Boats to Coral Island, Racha and other islands leave from Chalong Pier.
Парковка. Malls, supermarkets and the large temples have their own car parks; the side streets are narrow, and the pier is busy in the morning when the island boats leave.
Кому понравится Чалонг, а кому нет
Понравится
- Families who put schools first and want shops and clinics close by.
- Long-term residents who want a practical base in the middle of the south.
- Long stays on a budget: a furnished one-bedroom costs about 13,000 to 28,000 THB a month (2026).
- Muay Thai and fitness fans who come to train on Soi Ta-iad.
Не понравится
- Beach lovers who want to walk to the sand: the nearest swimming beaches are in Rawai, Kata and Karon.
- Night owls: evenings are quiet, and Patong is 20 to 35 minutes away.
- Short-stay visitors: Chalong is a base for living, not a resort.
Советы: Чалонг
Avoid the circle at rush hour
Chalong Circle is the area's traffic bottleneck; at school and office times, travel earlier or use the back roads.
Dress for Wat Chalong
Cover shoulders and knees. The firecrackers you hear are thanks offerings from local families.
Book the elephant walk
The longer walk with the herd at Freedom Elephant Reserve needs booking ahead; the short feeding visit is easier to fit in.
Early boats
Island trips leave Chalong Pier in the morning; arrive early, as the pier and its parking fill up.
Market after work
Suksamran market opens at about 17:00; go early for the cooked food.
Rent for value
A furnished one-bedroom costs about 13,000 to 28,000 THB a month (2026), less than near the west-coast beaches.
Big Buddha closes at 18:00
Go up Nakkerd Hill by mid-afternoon: the site opens 09:00 to 18:00, with last entry at 17:30.
