Ao Chalong town guesthouses and hotels

The budget guesthouses in Ao Chalong proper are mostly concentrated within short walking distance of Ao Chalong Rd which runs from the Haa Yaek (Five Ways) Chalong traffic circle down to the waterfront. Shanti Lodge is the exception to the rule, well back away from the bay on Chao Fa West Rd.

Friendship Beach guesthouses and hotels

This stretch of motley sand between Ao Chalong and Rawai is home to a handful of resorts. The beach here still isn't very good, but you could swim if you really wanted to.
