Cherngtalay: Phuket's Premier Destination
Age old visitors to Phuket may speak nostalgically of the bustling, classic tourist destinations of Patong and Phuket town as the best places in Phuket to spend a holiday or set up a home on the island.
They may be correct in that assumption, as will be explored in future articles, these places are jam packed with their own unique charm and vibrancy. But the stratospheric rise of an alternative to the buzzing streets of old is something to marvel at.
Indeed, the prestige of the sub-district of Cherngtalay, located on Phuket's idyllic western coast has skyrocketed in recent years, from a quaint island village, to a diverse and vibrant community with facilities and experiences to suit your every need and quench your every thirst.
With more and more people electing to move here and holiday in the beaches and bays around Cherngtalay every year, let’s take a look at what makes this developing spot increasingly attractive.
For the hungry
As the Cherngtalay area has risen in prominence, so too has the quality and variety of the restaurants and bars in the area.
On Cherngtalay’s outskirts, you will find SUAY Restaurant, one of the island’s finest dining experiences. Host to a gastronomic fusion of Thai classics with a Western touch, it is a must-go for all those who enjoy their iconic asian delights in a fine dining environment.
Towards the gateway to Laguna, Phuket’s most iconic expat community, you will find yourself instantly greeted with a spattering of local and international cuisines. Bake Cherngtalay is perhaps the most iconic of these, hosting an eclectic mix of freshly baked goods, breakfast delights and much more.
In Porto de Phuket and Boat avenue, two of Phuket’s most irresistible retail parks, you will find some of the island’s best restaurants and bars, anywhere from Mexican cuisine to noodle bars and everything in between.
My advice would be to check them out for yourself.
