The Royal Valley resort Phuket

4.4(104 reviews)

Situated in the Chalong area of Phuket, The Royal Valley is a residential-style resort offering spacious, well-appointed apartments suited to both short stays and longer-term living. Long-term residents and visiting guests alike highlight the peaceful atmosphere, modern interiors, and thoughtfully maintained grounds. Standout features include a swimming pool, gym, massage facilities, and an on-site cafe, giving the property a self-contained quality that suits families and those looking to settle into a quieter pace of island life. The location adds genuine day-to-day convenience, with a Robinson department store, local markets, and a botanical garden all within easy reach on foot. Apartments are noted for being spacious and well-equipped, including kitchen appliances that make extended stays practical. The wraparound porch and jacuzzi options available in some units add a more leisurely dimension to the stay. Good to know: Chalong is a primarily residential district, so this property suits travellers who prefer a local neighbourhood feel over a resort-strip environment. Having a scooter, car, or reliable taxi app makes getting around Phuket considerably easier from this location. The dry season, running from November through April, offers the most comfortable conditions for exploring the broader island.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture

Dress Modestly

Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.

Mind Your Feet

Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.

Ask Before Photographing

Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
