Getting There

Phuket is located on the western coast of southern Thailand. It peeks over the Andaman Sea, and is very popular with tourists looking for a tropical beach vacation. The Wat Chalong is located just south of Phuket City, in the region of Chalong. If you choose to hire a car, you will have the opportunity to drive yourself to the coast, which really is only a few streets away. Wat Chalong is about 8 kilometres away from the city, along Chao Fah Nok Road. You can also hire a taxi, which will drop you off directly at the site.
