What to see and do in Chalong ?
A strong water sports focus derived from being the largest boat anchorage in the country gives tourists the access to some of more adventurous experiences in the world. In between riding elephants and firing shotguns you may find the time to partake in some island hopping or a fascinating temple visit.
Before you get carried away with the fun filled activities Chalong has to throw at you, there is a piece of Thai architecture that is too good to miss. The incredible Buddhist temple located at the southern end of the island, named Wat Chalong, gives tourists an invaluable insight into the country’s decorated history and culture. Housing an imposing statue of national hero, Luang Pho Cham, who famously saved Phuket from invasion, the temple will surely satisfy that unique cultural experience you have been craving for.
Chalong has increasingly gained the reputation as the place to be for snorkelling, diving and boating with local businesses running boats leaving daily from Chalong Bay for Coral Island, Koh Racha and Phi Phi Island. Leave no stone unturned when delving into these aquatic activities as you will soon find the impeccable level of service and convenience that comes with it is world class. The truth of the matter is that as far as snorkelling and diving goes you will struggle to find a place that can compete with the incredible locations that these companies can take you to. Or if you simply just feel the urge to get out onto the water and visit the different island there are also island hopping tours organised.
The variety of aquatic activities is matched by the land based options found in elephant trekking, go-karting, golf, ATV driving, shooting and paintball. More specifically a visit to the Phuket Shooting Range is thoroughly recommended as the venue has proved to be a tourist favourite over the years. Equipped with indoor and outdoor ranges, the facility will have you feeling like Arnold Schwarzenegger when you fire an assortment of handguns, rifles and shotguns. The kids can even get in on the action with no age limit for children!
