Chalong Phuket
|
"Chalong is a little town favourite by expats, quiet, though nearby all the main attractions.
There are no beaches in Chalong, mainly boats, but Nai Harn Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Phuket is a 10 minute drive through fantastic landscape. Chalong has everything you may need and excellent dining opportunities near the bay.
The completion of the new road from Chalong to Patong (Wat Chalong - Patong will be 4.2 km) will make Chalong even more attractive."
