Chalong is a local district in the south of Phuket island, known for its temples and everyday Thai life. It feels calmer than the busy beach towns of the island, and it works well as a base for people who want to explore the south of Phuket by car or taxi.

Wat Chalong, also known as Chaithararam Temple, and the Big Buddha Phuket on the hills are both 1.9 km away, and the Big Buddha is one of the island's best-known landmarks. Kata Beach and Karon Beach lie 3.7 km and 3.9 km away, two sandy beaches popular with visitors, while Patong Beach, the liveliest resort town on Phuket, is 7.5 km away. Chalong Pier, the departure point for boats to nearby islands, is a short drive from the hotel, and Phuket International Airport is 31.2 km away.

A good day could start at Wat Chalong in the morning, continue to the Big Buddha on the hill, and end on the sand at Kata or Karon beach in the afternoon. Plan the trip by taxi or car, as the beaches are a drive away. In the evening the Night Market is close by, a good way to see the everyday side of the district, and Phuket Bird Park is also nearby for a morning with animals.
