OUR VILLAGE | CHALOKLUM
About Us
CHALOKLUM (โฉลกหล ำ) | one of the oldest villages on Koh Phanagn that still keeps its
charm alive over a hundred years. Our village is well known for its authenticity of being a
fishing village that feeds the island with its rich resources. Chaloklum has become the
diver’s paradise over recent years, bringing numbers of dive school, expat and eco
travelers to this little town.
As the island has been developed quickly by the mass tourism, it seems like the time here
is preserved and the vibes of our small town has never been changed. Its location is also
set next to the beautiful unspoiled beaches, a dramatic jungle, waterfalls and mountains
where families will enjoy all activities together.
.
LOCAL
EXPERIENCE
This is the ideal place for those who are looking
for authentic Thai holiday experience with local
islanders.
You will find the small sacred temple where it
holds the hearts of Buddhism and the hearts of
villagers together, the local fishermen leaving the
shore and come back at sunset with the catches
of the day, the kids jumping off the pier into the
blue sea after school and the busy monkey on the
way to work in the morning at one of the coconut
plantation in the village.
These might be different scenes from your home
or your usual vacation, but these are ordinary and
most simple scenes in our village life for years.
Open your heart, take time and blend in :)
