Chalong is a coastal town in Phuket Province, Thailand. Located on the southeastern tip of Phuket Island near Chalong Bay, it serves as a practical gateway for divers visiting the Andaman Sea side of Phuket. The area is known for easy access to nearby dive sites around Phuket, with several dive centers offering day trips, courses, and gear rental. Water conditions are typically warm and clear in the dry season, with common reef-associated species and occasional larger pelagics reported from local sites. As a dive hub, it provides proximity to beaches, boat charters, and night-life while staying more relaxed than busier resort areas.
