Phuket · The southern crossroads
Chalong is the junction of the south — the pier that boats leave from for the islands, the road up to the Big Buddha, and a sprawl of residential streets that house a large part of the island's foreign community.
Family houses and villas in gated and ungated estates, some townhouses, and limited condominium. Pricing is moderate and the stock is aimed at people who live here rather than visit.
Not a beach area. Chalong Bay is a working anchorage. Rawai and Nai Harn beaches are 10 to 15 minutes south.
Almost entirely long-term residential letting. Tenants are year-round residents, which makes income steady and unspectacular.
About 40 minutes to the airport. An international school sits in the area, the southern hospital road is close, and Chalong Pier is the departure point for most island day trips.
Families settling on the island, and long-let investors who want space and a real neighbourhood.
The main junction is busy and the area is functional rather than picturesque. Value here comes from space and location relative to schools, not from setting.
Predominantly houses on land, so lease or company structures are the norm. Chalong has a large, long-settled foreign community, which means plenty of anecdotal advice circulating about structures that were fine twenty years ago. Take current independent advice rather than neighbourhood wisdom.
Thinking seriously about Chalong?
Worth talking it through? We will be candid about where Chalong works and where it does not.
See if you qualify →It is one of the main residential areas for the island's foreign community, with an international school, easy access to the southern beaches and moderate pricing.
No. Chalong Bay is a working anchorage and pier. Rawai and Nai Harn beaches are 10 to 15 minutes south.
Mainly family houses and villas in estates, some townhouses, and a limited amount of condominium.
No price list, no development names on this page — by design. Those are worth going through one to one, when we know what you are working with.
