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.
