Chaloklum Fisherman Village

Chaloklum Fisherman Village is on the northern coast of Koh Phangan, with a 3 km beach framed by mountains. Still an active fishing village, it also offers beachfront bars and restaurants with both Thai and international cuisine. The flat landscape makes it especially easy for families and older visitors.

The Sunday Market/Walking Street is a highlight, popular with locals and guests alike. It feels much like Koh Samui’s Bophut Fisherman Village years ago and seems to be growing in the same way.

The smaller village of Mae Haad lies to the west, at a similar distance, and provides comparable services.
