Chalok Lam Bay


                Chalok Lam Bay is one of the more peaceful bays on Koh Phangan - famous for its stunning location with the awesome mountains surrounding the bay and creating drama and effect. The beach here is almost three kilomtres in length with bunaglows set at either end of the bay and the village in the centre. Nature rules in Chalok Lam and each bungalow development are spacious with plenty of surrounding flora and fauna.
               


                        
                      At night the village offers bars and restaurants - as a fishing village the seafood is fresh and very well cooked. The excellent road connections to Chalok Lam allow swift passage to the nearby beaches of Mae Haed, Haad Salaat and many others along the coast. Chalok Lam is a place to relax and feel good.
                On the outskirts of the village there are two temples - one is chinese and offers fantastic views over the mountains and valley, the other is a Thai Buddhist temple and is a training center for local and mainland Thais. There is another temple within Chalok Lam village itself which tends to be the focal point of village life and tradition.
