Accommodation and facilities:
This was a very peaceful resort and village. There is little tourist influence and the village is a lovely fishing port with few tourist shops. There are some very good restaurants but remember your torch for this resort. The garden view bungalows are very well decorated and comfortable and the newest. The pool is lovely and the new terrace they were building will be great (due to be finished by end of July as at present it is a bit noisy with construction work).
Reservation service:
Very fast and efficient

Accommodation and facilities:
This resort is very nicely situated on the North coast of Pahngan island.
It is a little far from Tongsala and Haad Rin if you wish to visit these regularly, but is nicely tucked away in a quite part of the island.
The rooms were quite expensive imo for the size and content of them, however we booked in the knowledge it was quite an expensive resort as we wanted somewhere nice to stay for Christmas.
Friendly staff, rooms were nice, right close to the beach, and the resort has a lovely beach front swimming pool.
about 1km to nearest 7-11
about 20 minute on motorbike to Tongsala
and about 45 minutes taxi/motorbike to Haad rin.
overall 8/10 for this resort, and i ve stayed in quite an array in this part of the world.
Reservation service:
easy, good communication, would recommend 100%.
No problems throughout the whole process.

Foton från hotellet och faciliteter
The main northern village of Chaloklum is expanding to cater for more than just the fishing trade that it's well know for.
It is still mainly a Thai village that hasn't yet been over-effected by tourism and there is a wealth of cheap Thai restaurants serving tasty fresh squid and other local catches;
but the place is also getting a bit of funky feel with the opening of some cool bars and cafes including Caf DelMar, an open air club / bar in the village.
Chaloklum's maritime roots mean that fishing and diving trips are easy to take from here,
it is also home to Koh Phangan's northernmost port making it the main transit point to visit Bottle Beach,
or any of the other surrounding beaches by boat.
ACCOMMODATION
Chaloklum Bay Resort is located on the quiet western end of Ao Chaloklum in front of the bay's with white sandy beach and coral reef.
The resort includes 30 villa to choose from prices to suit any budget providing modern facilities, situated around with a central swimming pool.
Well designed resort has fused traditional Thai and modern influences to create a well laid out and spacious landscape that is both pleasing to eye and functional.
All the villa face the beach and are positioned so that there is a sea view from every balcony and enough space between them for complete privacy.
The resort was previously a coconut plantation and most of the tall palms remain, giving shade to the lush gardens and cooling the buildings.
