Haad Chaloklum
Thailand · อำเภอเกาะพะงัน
Haad Chaloklum, located on the north coast of Koh Phangan in the fishing village of Baan Chaloklum, is an authentic spot lined with palm and coconut trees. It is a peaceful place with a fine sandy beach and a relaxed atmosphere, typical of Thai fishing villages.
The spot comes alive from November to January when the north and northeast winds make it reliable, attracting kite schools and independent riders. The flat and shallow lagoon is perfect for both beginners and advanced riders, although it can get busy in December.
Surrounded by a tropical setting, with fishing boats and warm water, it is the ideal place to discover another side of kitesurfing in Koh Phangan.

The beach of Haad Chaloklum faces north, ideal for N/NE winds that blow side-on or slightly onshore during the northeast season from November to January. The navigation area is a wide flat and shallow lagoon, protected by outer reefs, with water waist-deep even for beginners.
Launching is done directly from the sandy beach, easy to access, and the launch area is wide but watch for moored fishing boats. Stay in the center of the bay for the perfect flat; to the right towards the east, it becomes more wavy with small head-high waves in strong wind, and to the left near the rock wall, the water is more choppy.
The water remains flat to light chop at low tide, ideal for lessons, and a bit more choppy at high tide. Schools relocate here in season, making the spot lively but with enough space for 10-15 riders. Be cautious of boat passage areas to exit to the open sea to the east or west.
