Location

The guesthouse is in the Chaweng area of Bo Put, about 1.5 km from Chaweng Beach, on the inland side of town towards the hills. That's a 20-minute walk or a few minutes by taxi or scooter.

Being inland puts you close to the ring road, which makes it straightforward to head south to Lamai or north to the airport and Big Buddha.
