Aruna, Chai and their two lovely little boys make everyone feel welcome and part of the family. The facilities are very nice and peaceful with quiet when you want it but there is also plenty of opportunity to meet other interesting people. The beach is a short walk away and Aruna and Chai are super helpful making arrangements for whichever... More

5 mins from Phrae Ae beach, Aruna and Chai welcome you in their house as if you were part of the family. I had a wonderful stay there and shared lovely moments with the hosts and the other guests. The house and the guests rooms are very nice, the atmosphere is peaceful and quiet, you can relax in a hamoc... More

I have never spent a holiday feeling so comfortable in the chosen accommodation. Baan Rao is literally a home away from home. We stayed at Baan Rao over the Christmas holiday and were lucky enough to spend time with not only Aruna, Chai and their two kids Shaan and Jeevan, but also Aruna's sister and mother who were visiting. I... More

When looking for lodging in Koh Lanta for our longstay we did not want to stay in the middle of everything and then we found this fantastic place! On the hillside, above Lanta animal Welfare. Staying at Baan Rao B&B is like being at home. You feel really comfy and relaxed mostly thanks to Aruna and Chai. The place it... More

We chose to stay in Baan Rao after reading the wonderful reviews here & to be closer to nature. And I'm very glad we did, it was the highlight of our short trip to Koh Lanta. Aruna was awesome right from the first email & with Chai, they make the best couple to run a B&B in Koh Lanta. We... More

Yes the toilets at Baan Rao do need scrubs as the water is brown from our own well and the brown deposit makes the toilets look dirty which they are not. We scrub the toilets after every check out and apologies if the toilet looked dirty this time. That was not our intention. Welcome to Baan Rao ! More

My girls (12 and 7 yrs old) and myself spent few days at Baan Rao B&B in Oct. 2011.The couple running the B&B, Aruna and Chai, ensured that we enjoyed our stay completely - hosting us wonderfully, arranging our trips, providing all information about the island including sharing their favourite "hiddden" places. Their colourful past as diver instructors around the... More

From the first first e-mailed I sent to Aruna till the last minute we leave, both Aruna and Chai just could not do enough for us. They gave us fantastic information on arrival together with a map of the island and torches. As they are former diving instructors, they booked our dives, arranged transport around the island, gave great tips... More

I stayed here during Christmas 2011 and it was the most wonderful stay. This is an experience unlike any other place I' ve been duringy one month's travel through SEA. Aruna is the loveliest host, the way she runs the hostel is very environmentally aware and the rooms are soulfull. At times there are Thai dinners you can join in,... More

As my fiance and I are on a one year round the world trip, our choice for Christmas needed to be a good one, it would be our first Christmas away from home after all! I originally sent an email to Aruna to enquire about a room a good three weeks before and from that moment on she made sure... More

This was a lovely stay. The rooms were gorgeous and clean. They could not have been more helpful or kind. The only downside was that the walk up the hill to Baan Rao was a little steep, and at night felt slightly precarious. Great for avoiding the tourist vibe, but Probably not ideal if you have trouble walking, though they... More
