Shanti Lodge

Recommended

1/2 Soi Bang Rae, Chaofa Nok Rd
T: (076) 28 0233

Even if you're not staying here, you should certainly make the extra effort to get to Shanti Lodge for a hearty meal.

Happy Days

For the Sunday roast

1/18 Moo 9, Chao Fa Rd
T: (084) 692 0465

The Sunday roast at Happy Days was recommended by several people in Chalong during our research stint.
