Rawai & Chalong Bay<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/az_column_text][az_column_text]The South of Phuket used to be less popular for tourists to visit in the past, due to the lack of quality accommodation. This has obviously totally changed nowadays. In fact, today it is a fantastic location because all major “must-sees” are in close proximity. It’s undoubtedly the area with the most beautiful nature, views and a large National Park at the South tip of the Island, the famous Promthep Cape.<\/p>\n

Chalong<\/strong><\/span> is a popular residential area South of Phuket town. Chalong Bay has long been well known from its long pier, from where hundreds of boats start every morning to the nearby Islands. A new marina for private yachts has added attractiveness, so the bay will be even busier in the future. Protected from the Monsoon winds and with almost no waves, Chalong Bay is very safe for boats to anchor. The pier is just a few minutes away from Mangosteen Ayurveda & Wellness Resort, which makes the resort attractive for divers and ideal for snorkeling day trips to the nearby Islands.<\/p>\n

Right next to the pier, one of Phuket\u2019s most famous seafood restaurants \u201c<\/span>Kan Eang @ Pier<\/a><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/strong>, presents all kind of fresh seafood and great, spicy Thai food. Chalong Circle connects the area directly to Kata Beach and to the main road along the West Coast, all the way up to Patong Beach. The new tunnel, completed in 2019 ensures quick access to Phuket Town and no more traffic jams.<\/p>\n
