Ao Chalong guesthouses and hotels

It's a bumpy trek to Aochalong Villa, so it's a genuine surprise to find a first-class boutique resort at the end of the dirt road. Depending how you look at it, the location is either isolated and ... Aochalong Villa Resort and Spa complete profile

Another example of Phuket's rapidly vanishing budget accommodations, this new resort has replaced Bungalow Ao Chalong. Calling it a resort is a bit of an overstatement as there's no swimming pool or ... Chalong Sea View Resort complete profile
