Renting in Chalong, Phuket: prices, areas and what to know (2026)

What a house or villa really costs in Chalong, who the area suits, and what to check before you sign — based on the homes listed on Matt right now.

Chalong sits in the south-centre of Phuket, between Phuket Town and the beaches of Rawai, Nai Harn and Kata. It isn't a beach area itself, and that is exactly why many long-stay renters choose it: you get more house for your money, quieter streets, and a short drive to the island's best southern beaches.

This guide uses real prices from the 34 homes currently listed in Chalong on Matt (October 2026), so you know what to expect before you start viewing.

Who Chalong suits

Families and long-stayers who want a house with a garden rather than a condo.
People who drive or ride a scooter — you will need your own transport here.
Anyone splitting time between town and the beaches: Phuket Town is to the north, Rawai and Nai Harn to the south.
Fitness fans — Soi Ta-iad is known for its Muay Thai and training camps.

What rent costs in Chalong

Across the 34 Chalong homes on Matt, the median rent is ฿35,000 a month. Prices depend mostly on the type of home:

Townhouses: ฿10,000 – ฿30,000 a month (typical ฿25,000)
Houses: ฿15,000 – ฿95,000 a month (typical ฿35,000)

If your budget is under ฿20,000, there are currently 6 homes in Chalong at that price — mostly townhouses and smaller houses.

Tip: on Matt the same home is often cheaper per month on a 1-year contract than on a 3- or 6-month one. If you know you are staying, ask for the 1-year price.

What you get for your money

Chalong is mostly houses. Of the homes listed right now, most have 2–3 bedrooms, 18 are fully furnished, 9 accept pets and 7 have a private or shared pool. That makes it one of the easier areas to find a pet-friendly family house.

Landmarks and getting around

Wat Chalong — Phuket's best-known temple.
The Big Buddha — on the hill between Chalong and Kata.
Chalong Pier — where many boats leave for the southern islands.
Chalong Circle — the big roundabout everyone uses as a reference point; expect traffic at rush hour.

Public transport is limited, so most residents get around by scooter or car. Many landlords can recommend a local rental if you don't have one.

Before you sign

Deposit and advance: ask exactly how many months are due up front and get the deposit terms in writing.
Electricity and water: ask whether bills are at the government rate or a landlord rate — it makes a real difference in a house with air-con.
What's included: furniture, internet, garden and pool cleaning are often handled differently from house to house.
Check the commute at the time you would actually travel, especially through Chalong Circle.
