Chalong is located on the east coast of Phuket and is the principal boat anchorage on the island’s largest bay. It is about 11 kilometers south of the town. It is very picturesque but not suitable for swimming but it’s an ideal and natural spot for yacht mooring. There is a wide range of restaurants, shops and bars around the area. There are numerous modern condominiums and residential houses that are for rent or sale around the area too.
