Chaloklum accommodation from AU$287

Located as far from Haad Rin and the island’s full moon parties as possible, Chaloklum Bay is a laid-back fishing community, oozing with local Thai charm. The most popular activity is scuba diving. It's only a short trip out to some of the best dive sites in the Gulf, ideal for getting your certification or simply enjoying the warm waters of Thailand. If scuba isn't your thing, the snorkelling at Koh Ma (off Mae Haad) is the best on Koh Phangan.

Adventure lovers have plenty to do with kite surfing, wakeboarding and many other sports available. In the mountains you can test your skills on a tough mountain bike trail, or an endless amount of beautiful walking tracks will keep you hiking to your heart's content. For relaxation, it's hard to beat swimming in the bay, soaking up the sun's rays as you tan, or just hanging out in a beach bar with a beer or a fruit shake in hand.

Chaloklum Bay is close to some of the best beaches on the island, with Haad Salad, Haad Khom and Mae Haad all just minutes away by car or scooter. If you want to head somewhere even more remote, take a long tail boat to Bottle Beach. It's impossible to get here any other way, and the trip offers views of a spectacular bay with wide golden sandy beaches.

In the most peaceful part of Koh Phangan, Chaloklum Bay is a welcome retreat from the normal tourist hotspots. Take a holiday where you can really unwind and see what all the fuss is about. You're only a step away from choosing from our range of Chaloklum Bay hotels and a flight to Thailand, so get picking and visit this beautiful beach on your next holiday.
