Chalong Holiday Packages

Chalong, a subdistrict on the southeast coast, has a special pull for travellers who seek aquatic adventures with a side of the island’s fresh seafood and lively nightlife. Book Chalong packages today and get ready to explore one of Phuket’s most popular provinces!

Things to Do in Chalong

You can really “make waves” with all the oceanic opportunities in Chalong Bay. Spend your Chalong holiday packages getting in touch with the local marine life—the town’s jetty will give you easy access to daily diving and snorkelling trips. Visit Shark Point—don’t worry, leopard sharks are friendly!—or Anemone Reef, where you can make friends with clownfish and see one of Thailand’s best shipwrecks, the ferry King Cruiser.

You could certainly spend your whole holiday with your head underwater, but when you come up for air, there’s tons of fun on land. Take a hike up to the Big Buddha for 360-degree views of Phuket Town and Chalong Bay’s beaches. (Those who partied too hard last night are also good to go—just book one of Wotif’s Chalong car hire options and drive up.) Even more fun for landlubbers: elephant treks, ATV rides and zip-lining.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

If your kind of action is more likely to involve bartering, Chalong holidays have plenty of markets for you to choose from. Near Chalong Bay, you’ll have the best luck near the main traffic circle and also just west of the jetty. You’ll probably stumble across at least a few in your travels, but if you can’t find one, just ask a friendly local—there’s a reason Thailand is called the “Land of Smiles”. You’ll soon be browsing rows of embroidered silks, hand-carved Buddhas and delicious spices and vanilla beans.

The market is sure to have tons of food, so once you’ve filled your arms with shopping bags, it’s easy to fill your belly too. You can keep it simple with classic dishes like hot-and-sour soup and the fresh catch of the day (and on a Chalong holiday, it’s always fresh!), or take a walk on the wild side with fried grasshoppers. Add a little soy sauce and white pepper and these au naturel protein supplements go down with a crunch! Looking to keep it classy? Head back to the jetty for waterfront views and five-star service.

Chalong’s Sunrise Road, which stretches west from the jetty, delivers nightlife in spades. Watch the sun set and the boats come in with cocktail in hand, then head to the waterfront to continue the party—on top of a lighthouse, in a thatched roof lounge with live music or with your toes in the sand. Cap the night in a beach club, which keep the music bumping until 2 a.m.

What’s Next

Find your next great escape with Wotif’s Chalong deals and you’ll have plenty of baht leftover for dive gear, new hobbies or just extra strawberry daiquiris. No one’s judging—they’re all on Phuket holidays, too.
