3-star hotels in Chon Buri
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels in Chon Buri, the provincial capital on Thailand's eastern Gulf coast. It is for travellers who want a mid-range base near Bang Saen beach, the city centre or the coast, and who care about guest ratings before they book.
Staying in Chon Buri
Chon Buri grew up as a fishing and trading town and still mixes local Thai life with visitors passing through to the coast. The city has its own railway station and is linked by highway to Bangkok and the other eastern provinces, and its accommodation runs from simple guesthouses to large resort-style hotels. Most of the hotels on this shortlist sit in Bang Saen and along the coastline, on roads such as Bangsaenlang Road, Bangsaen Sai 1 Road and Bang Saen Ang Sila Road, with a few further out towards Nongmaidang and the islands of Tha Thewawong. That spread shapes who each hotel suits. Couples and short-break visitors tend to gravitate to the Bang Saen addresses, which are closest to the sand, the seafood restaurants and the beach road, with the Kalm Bangsaen Hotel and La Playa Boutique Resort sitting under a kilometre from the centre. Families have more room to choose, since several properties list family rooms and outdoor pools.
