The atmosphere is casual and chill, and attracts people who are relaxed and enjoy being in seclusion with nature. Do not expect uppity-resort-kind of people there, because it is not set up to indulge guests with expensive spa regimes and fancy cutlery. My husband and I stayed there for a week, and we had a fabulous, adventurous, and at the... More

Ko Ra Island might not have the beautiful clear waters of the nearby Surin Island but it has to offer seclusion if you want to get away from it all. The accommodation is very basic just a bed in the middle of the room and no other furniture. They provided us with a fan and a mosquito net once we... More

Koh Ra was a chance for my kids to see a more authentic side of Thailand without getting caught up in the luxury beach hotels that Phuket is famous for. Here life is simple. We spent all our time outdoors because there is nothing to do indoors. No tv, no electricity for most of the day and an intermittent internet... More

Whether it was strolling along a deserted beach, snorkelling off others, gentle trekking through the jungle (more difficult treks were available but we just... More

My wife and i originally booked a standard room for 1 week, but ended up staying for 2 weeks. We just couldn't pass up the opportunity for the solitude and serenity. Although the rooms are fairly spartan, they provide all that you really need.I spent most of my time in a hammock strung up outside my room, overlooking the ocean.... More

We booked 5 months in advance for a seven night stay We had payed in full before arriving and when we got there "Kim", the American manager leasing the property, told us he and Thai partner were leaving in five days to go on holiday as it was the end of the season. He said we could stay the 7... More

The big plus regarding Ko Ra Ecolodge is the stunning location, and the peace and relaxed feel of the place. The facilities are quite spartan and the lack of water was a little irritating at times (the shower only worked once in the 5 days we were there); although water shortage is, apparently, a problem across Thailand at present. Should... More
