Description
This place, a couple of kilometres north of the Chalong roundabout, is run by the same owner as the Shanti Lodge in Bangkok and is one of the best guesthouses in Phuket. Every inch of this place shows artistry, craftmanship and attention to detail -- from the fountain trickling into the welcoming pool, to the conch shell faucets, winding staircases and placid ponds of full of colourful coy carp. The rooms are in a beautifully-designed, two-storey longhouse. The first-floor rooms have private baths -- that is, jungle toilets, partly open to the sky, constituting a small private garden. The upstairs rooms have good shared facilities. The rooms themselves have a great atmosphere, and the upstairs doubles can sleep four people, making them very good value for families and groups, at least in the low season. There's a good common area for sitting and chatting downstairs with food and drinks. Recommended.

Superb place to stay. A bit out of the way but really nice. Staff are really helpful and the rooms are big and clean.

Ao Chalong Mansion
48/13 Ao Chalong Rd, Ao Chalong
The Ao Chalong Mansion is hardly a mansion -- just a nondescript building -- but it's a good find for budget travellers intent on staying right in the centre of Chalong town. The rooms are spacious and decent -- surprising given what the building looks... more
The Father Bungalows
46/16 Chao Fa Rd, Ao Chalong
On a charming little soi just off Ao Chalong Rd, The Father Bungalows has leafy surrounds and a pleasant homey feel. We found the prices a little high for what you get, but not totally unreasonable. The atmosphere is fine and the staff are warm and... more
Rattana Apartments
97/3 Viset Rd, Ao Chalong
Rattana Apartments is just off Viset Road as you head south towards Friendship Beach. It's got nothing going for it in terms of atmosphere, but is an acceptable option if you're on a budget and other places are full. Rattana attracts a lot of monthly Thai guests and is sometimes full even in the... more
Sao Tour
42/9 Ao Chalong Rd, Ao Chalong
These rooms are set above a tour agency with a small restaurant/cafe, and are actually a pretty good deal. All the rooms are large and clean, with cool tile floors -- a little better than you'd expect in this price range. Fan rooms have hot water but no TV, while the air-con rooms have TVs but no... more
