About Chalok Baan Kao
A calm southern bay suited for divers and travellers looking for quiet evenings.
The shallow water here makes swimming difficult at low tide, but the relaxed atmosphere draws divers and long-term visitors. You will need a scooter or taxi to reach the main ferry pier at Mae Haad or the late-night venues in Sairee. Choose this bay for early nights, but look elsewhere if you want deep water swimming right off the sand.
- Getting there
- Scooter or taxi from Mae Haad pier.
- Watch out for
- The water is very shallow at low tide.
