Chalong Bay
This calm and serene bay offers shelter to a fleet
of boats from sailing yachts to tour boats seeking shelter against
strong winds. It is also a famous take-off to well-known islands like
Phi Phi, Coral Island, Mar Thon Island, Racha Island and the dive
sites of Dok Mai and Shark Point. It bustles with activity from the
crack of dawn till 9.00 am as the boats leave for their destination
of the day . From 4.30 to 5.30 PM this bay is again quite busy with
the passengers returning from their offshore island tours. Seaside
restaurants by the pier attract bus loads of tourists in the evening
after they have been to see the famous sunset from Promthep Cape. |
