The best areas to stay in Ban Chalong
The historic centre
If it's your first time in Ban Chalong and you're here for three nights or fewer, stay central. You'll pay a premium per night and win it back in taxi fares and walking time. Use Booking.com's map view and draw your search around the oldest part of town.
One neighbourhood out
The band just outside the centre is where Ban Chalong gets interesting and considerably cheaper — usually 25–40% less for the same standard of room, and a ten-minute walk or one stop on public transport from everything.
Beachfront
Beachfront in Ban Chalong costs the most and is worth it only if you'll use the beach daily. Check on the map exactly which stretch of sand the property fronts — 'beach nearby' can mean a fifteen-minute walk with a buggy.
