Travel Guide - Attractions Bay in Phuket Thailand
Chalong Bay
Phuket's
principal boat anchorage and the island's largest bay. Ao
Chalong has a long flat, shallow, muddy bottom; at ebb-tide
waters recede as much as one kilometre. It is picturesque
but not for swimming. Most visitors take the Chalong Pier
to visit the smaller islands , and the bay's restaurants
are well known for their seafood. Charters to different
places can be arranged from there, and it is the center
of the island's yachting businesses. Ao Chalong is not only
for its pier,but also the seafood restaurant along the seashore.
Sehn Bay
A small bay with many rocks and corals. Snorkeling and diving
are possible. For sunbathers, this secluded, curving strand
north of Nai Han offers some privacy. A small open air restaurant
supplies food and drink. To get there go through the parking
lot of the Phuket Yacht Club hotel and follow the road to
Ao Sehn, about 1/2 km.
