Ao Chalong

There's a surprising abundance of good restaurants in Chalong. All of the places mentioned here are along the road running up to the pier.

  • The Lighthouse
    4 stars

    Long-running sailor haunt

    45/33 Chao Fa Road East, Moo 9, Ao Chalong
    T: (076) 381 709

    Set on the waterfront of Ao Chalong along the narrow road that runs south from Chalong Pier, the Lighthouse is impossible to miss thanks to its distinctive lighthouse tower. The building once housed the Phuket Sailing Club before it moved up the road a few years ago, but the restaurant still ... read more

    Shanti Lodge
    4 stars

    Recommended

    1/2 Soi Bang Rae, Chaofa Nok Rd
    T: (076) 28 0233

    Even if you're not staying here, you should certainly make the extra effort to get to Shanti Lodge for a hearty meal. Serving up both vegetarian and non-vegetarian fare, Shanti Lodge is a big favorite among the local expat crowd. The restaurant’s décor is that of a home of a hippy artist, ... read more

    Fon-Fon Seafood
    3.5 stars

    Cheap and cheerful

    Steps from the pier, Ao Chalong
    T: (076) 28 1042

    If standard local Thai food is what your small budget is after, look no further than Fon-Fon — a reasonably priced and cheerful Thai spot. Admittedly, it's nothing to rejoice about but it will fill you up for a fraction of the price of other places around Ao Chalong. It's a very simple place with ... read more

    Mr India Restaurant
    3.5 stars

    Very good Indian food

    43/73-74 Moo 5
    T: (076) 28 1473

    Tucked into a small soi off the road to the harbour, this long-time favourite doesn’t resemble its neighbouring sleazy bars and sticks out like a sore thumb. While we didn't spend the entirety of our time in Phuket scoffing Indian food, we found Mr India to have some of the most authentic Indian ... read more

  • Anchor Inn Restaurant
    3.5 stars

    Simple Thai food

    1/3 Moo 9, Viset Rd
    T: (076) 28 1329

    Located just near the Chalong circle, the Anchor Inn is a hop skip and a jump from all budget accommodation and just minutes to the pier. The unassuming restaurant is set inside a garden cooking up traditional Thai along with a selection of international dishes to suit anyone's palate. The ... read more

    Happy Days
    3.5 stars

    For the Sunday roast

    1/18 Moo 9, Chao Fa Rd
    T: (084) 692 0465

    The Sunday roast at Happy Days was recommended by several people in Chalong during our research stint. Though it will set you back a mere 300B, it is a grand spread and even comes with Yorkshire pudding. Their Thai food isn't too shabby either with all the standards covered and served in generous ... read more
