Chalok is home to a large, sweeping bay that is protected from the wind almost all year round. This makes it a perfect beach location for your stay. The choice of oceanfront resorts, beachside cafes and restaurants, and the chilled-out vibe make it a popular choice for families and those who want a quieter base while still having easy access to the rest of the island.
Chalok Bay is less than a 10-minute drive from the main pier in Mae Haad. It’s not recommended to walk along the busy road on your arrival as it can take upwards of 45 minutes with all of your luggage. Not very fun in the hot, tropical sun! Most accommodation providers will offer a transfer service. Alternatively, taxi services are readily available at the pier.
places to stay regardless of whether you’re backpacking, holidaying with family, or enjoying a couples honeymoon retreat.
Scuba diving schools in this area focus on smaller groups, and some specialize in marine conservation while still offering the full array of regular courses and fun diving trips.

Cheap deals are readily available, but you’ll also find some comfortable and modern upmarket hostels with a great atmosphere in Chalok.
