To Do: Chalong Bay Rum

Chalong Bay Rum is a company of many talents. On-site, the company oversees the production of their high-end white rum. Visiting their distillery allows for a tour and the opportunity to learn more about rum production and a peak behind the curtain of a very successful business. Chalong Bay Rum also offers a cocktail workshop in their quaint bar, where visitors can learn to make rum-based cocktails such as Mojitos.

Chalong Bay Rum is overseen by two young French entrepreneurs. The visionary couple established the distillery with the hopes of producing top-grade white rum using only the finest Thai sugar cane and centuries old French distillation methods. Their vision has paid off. Chalong Bay Rum has already gained an international reputation, and is one of the most sought after rums on the island due to the fact that it is both delicious and locally produced.

The cocktail workshop at Chalong Bay Rum is a really fun activity. The workshop is available for a minimum of four people and lasts for two hours. Guests learn how to properly mix four rum cocktails (chosen from a menu of twelve) and then sample them afterwards. The open-air workshop provides the perfect backdrop to learning interesting facts about alcohol and the best practices when it comes to making delicious, refreshing rum cocktails.

Chalong Bay Rum is located on Soi Palai 2 in Chalong, not far from the Phuket Zoo. Signs to the distillery are well-marked. Chalong Bay Rum is open daily, with last call at 19:00pm
