The Beach

The beach on Ao (bay) Chaloklum is about two and a half kilometres long with the fishing village of Chaloklum in the centre. The bay itself is a picturesque palm fringed crescent, sheltered by lush green volcanic headlands at either side and the broad white sand beach is a never-ending vision of paradise.

Chaloklum Bay Resort is located on the quiet and secluded western side of the bay, with views all the way up the long beach and in front of the resort there is a rich coral reef that is a haven for exotic and beautiful marine life. At the western end of the bay, the

 broad white sand beach curves gently into the rocks, and then turns into a tropical paradise of lush green jungle stretching over the protective headlands.

Chilli Club Bar with view to the Beach

On the beach in front of Chaloklum Bay Resort, the Chilli Club pool bar is a converted Thai Sala with raised platforms either side for chilling out on, or dancing if there's a party happening! They have chilled tunes and a variety of beers and cocktails, the perfect place to escape the hot sun or wind down after a hard day on the beach.

Volleyball, badminton and football can be played on the beach and there is snorkelling equipment available if you want to explore the nearby coral reef.

The architect who designed the resort has fused traditional Thai and modern influences to create a well laid out and spacious landscape that is both pleasing to the eye and functional. All the bungalows face the beach and are positioned so that there is a sea view from every balcony and enough space between them for complete privacy. The resort was previously a coconut plantation and the tall palms remain, giving shade to the lush gardens and cooling the buildings.

Spacious Bungalows suitable for Families There are 34 bungalows and four rooms to choose from, all with fan and bathroom attached at a range of prices to suit any budget. Around half of the bungalows are a spacious 5 by 7 meters and the remaining ones are still roomy at 4 by 6 meters. All of the seven air-conditioned bungalows have hot water, two or three beds and are right on the beach; four have baths. The fan bungalows also come with a variety of sleeping options, with one, two or three beds in a room, available in two interesting styles of bungalow. All rooms have ceramic tiled floors, tiled bathrooms and are fully equipped with fly screens.

Adventure

Koh Phangan is part of the chain of islands that make up the Samui Archipelago and includes Angthong, Koh Tao and Koh Ma National Marine Parks. The island has some of the region's best and least crowded dive sites, all within easy reach of Chaloklum Bay Resort. The rich coral reef that lines the west coast of the island is vibrant with harmless marine life and attracts both scuba divers and snorkeling enthusiasts.

Ninety percent of the interior of the island is mountainous, with lush green peaks offering picturesque views across Koh Phangan and out to the neighboring islands; there are numerous mountain walks and treks, several waterfalls and a great variety of wildlife to spot.

The Best Travel Shop has all the information you will need to decide what you want to explore, and has a great variety of tours and adventure activities with everything from boat trips around the island to nature walks up Koh Phangan's biggest mountain.

Full Moon Party

If you're staying over the full moon, or just fancy a night out in Had Rin, Chaloklum Bay Resort is about 25 minutes drive away from the Global Party Capital. There is a 4WD taxi service available from the resort, where you can warm-up with a few drinks before you go and party the night away!

Nights out in Had Rin can be rather long, and waking up on the beach without your wallet is not an uncommon scenario; Chaloklum Bay Resort recommends you only take what you need and use our safe service to store your passport and valuables, in good hands and away from all the action.

Chaloklum Bay Resort is located just outside Chaloklum village on the new concrete ring road that joins the north to the west of the island. Ban (village) Chaloklum is still primarily a fishing village, and the fishing trade centres around the mid-section of the beach where the village is located. This is where the local fishermen keep their long-tail boats, and the image of all the wonderfully colourful handcrafted boats with their huge engines is a great view to take in while eating in the local restaurants. There are also a few cool bars to visit and Paradise Waterfall, one of the biggest clubs on the island is just outside the village.

Chaloklum is also home to a couple of dive schools and there are several dive and snorkelling sites nearby, including Koh Ma, Koh Phangan's only National Marine Park.
