I stayed here for 6 nights in feb 2013 and had a fantastic time. The couple that run the place are very friendly and accomodating. A few days in I got quite sick (stall food at the full moon party) and the husband drove me to the hospital free of charge and seemed genuinely concerned for my well being. Also... More

We stayed 18 nights at Rung Arun Resort and could not be more pleased. A private beach and a really fresh pool. The rooms were cleaned every day and the whole area is really nice. Even if it is close to everything, it's really peaceful and quiet .. Good food at good money, and what made the experience extra good... More

In the middle of all sort of touristy attractions, this resort is just a perfect place to retreat back after a long day. Rung Arun resort is a local owner's operated accommodation. It has relaxing atmosphere. It's rather... More

I stayed at Rung Arun a few months ago and loved it. It was one of those places that I say to myself "I'll take the time to give them a great review when I get home", and then I get lazy and never do. But this time I am because they really helped me out. After months of travel... More

Stayed here for 7 nights in Koh Phangon, for the Full Moon party. We booked online as we were worried about availability of things for the full moon. The resort was empty for the first few days though until the full moon party. The resort is quiet and relaxing... Very clean and has a great spot on the beach. The... More

My fiancée and I originally planned to only stay a few nights at the Rung Arun to use the resort as a relaxing base for before and after the full moon party. However, we fell in love with the Rung Arun from the first moment we arrived and ended up staying a total of nine nights. The resort is owned... More
