부동산 — Sawasdee Resort
Sawasdee Resort is a no-fuss 3-star spot on Ranong’s main strip, Ruangrat Road, with a faded tropical charm: think terracotta tiles, a small pool and a lobby that smells of polished wood and coffee. It’s popular with backpackers and budget travellers on their way to or from the Ranong–Kawthaung border crossing, offering basic but clean rooms and a decent restaurant. The USP is location – within walking distance of the morning market, bus station and hot springs – at prices that stay low even in high season.
Ranong 연대기
Ranong grew from a small fishing village into a trading port during the 19th century, boosted by tin mining and rubber plantations. Its architecture still shows Sino-Portuguese shophouses along Ruangrat Road, a legacy of Chinese merchants who settled here. The town’s modern identity is shaped by its role as the main land gateway to Myanmar via the Victoria Point border crossing, and by its famous hot springs – Raksawarin and Punyaban – that draw Thai domestic tourists. Ranong is also the wettest town in Thailand, averaging over 4,000 mm of rain a year, which gives its surrounding rainforest a dense, lush character.

City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Ranong

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sawasdee Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor (4th or 5th) facing the inner courtyard. These rooms are furthest from street noise and benefit from being under a quieter roof.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (especially 001–010) as they sit close to the lobby, breakfast area, and service corridor. Also skip rooms facing Ranong’s main road — the road carries heavy songthaew and motorbike traffic from about 6am.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors (4th or 5th) facing east or south-east have a partial glimpse of the estuary and hills beyond Ranong. West-facing rooms overlook the car park and adjacent buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–5 (assuming a typical 5-storey walk-up). Upper floors filter out street-level noise and footfall in the corridor.
🔊 Noise notes
Ranong’s main road is busy with songthaews (converted pick-ups) from 5.30am and through the afternoon. Nighttime noise is sporadic — dogs barking, local karaoke bars a block away. The hotel’s own lift motor vibrates through the walls of rooms next to the lift shaft.
Insider tips
1. Check in early (by 2pm) to grab one of the two rooms at the far end of the corridor on floor 4 — they’re the quietest. 2. If you’re driving, park in the space near the back gate (not front) to avoid being blocked in by tour buses.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

💡 Try the fresh roti from the stall at the south entrance. Come before 9am for the best selection.
💡 Check the opening hours before visiting—they sometimes close for maintenance. The English labels are brief but adequate.
💡 Go early (before 7am) for the clearest water and fewer people. Bring a towel and flip-flops; the concrete edges get slippery.
💡 Bring a good torch or headlamp—the cave is unlit. Wear shoes that can get wet if it's been raining. Entrance is free but donations welcome at the temple.
💡 Bring water and sun protection. The nearest shop is 2km back on the main road. Best visited at low tide when the sand is firmer.
