Chalong Bay Rum Distillery, Phuket

Chalong bay rum distillery in Phuket intertwines the French traditions of distillation with Thai sugarcane traditions. The distillery is a self-made business by a French couple, which makes handcrafted spirits using pure Thai sugarcane juice. It is a sustainable process where cane is picked by hand and grown locally without fertilisers. Tourists are also able to walk around tropical gardens, watch copper stills at work and participate in interactive workshops to acquire cocktail-making techniques. Chalong Bay has become known over the years as an international brand on the basis of its agricole-style rum and innovative application of botanicals. A visit here will be an educative, practical, fun experience and full of chances to sample passionately crafted craft spirits.

Best time to visit
The best time to visit is mid-afternoon, between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM, when guided tours and cocktail workshops are often scheduled. This time also allows you to enjoy the tropical atmosphere without the midday heat. If you prefer a quieter experience, visiting late morning is also a good option, especially if you plan to stay for lunch afterward.
