Chalong Guesthouse
If you are looking for a beach destination on Phuket Island then perhaps staying at a Chalong guesthouse is not ideal. However there are many travelers that do end up staying in Chalong for a number of different reasons. Most of the travelers that you will find staying at a Chalong guesthouse tend to be divers. The reason for this is because there is a large pier at Chalong from which many of the dive boats leave every day. So many divers prefer staying at a Chalong guesthouse rather than staying in Patong or Karon and having to sit a lot of time in a mini bus every day.
Please note that there are not a large number of real hotels and resorts in Chalong which is why Chalong guesthouses enjoy high occupancy. So please be sure to book your Chalong guesthouse room well in advance. Please also note that an average Chalong guesthouse only has 10 rooms or so.
The prices charged by the Chalong guesthouses do depend on the time of year during which you are planning to visit Phuket. The most expensive time of year to book a Chalong guesthouse room is during the Christmas and New Years Eve period. The cheapest time is during the rainy season which is also the tourist low season of Phuket which is between the months of May and October.
There are also a lot of expats living in the Chalong area and they will often have family and friends from abroad visiting them. These guests will also often prefer staying at a Chalong guesthouse rather than in Kamala or Patong Beach for example.
