Charung by The Sea

Charung by The Sea is a 3-star hotel in Haad Rin on Koh Phangan, with direct access to a quiet stretch of beach. Its beachfront grounds include a private beach area, garden, terrace and outdoor swimming pool. The six room options include sea-view and garden-view choices, each for up to two people. They have air conditioning, private bathrooms and balconies; selected layouts add a terrace, flat-screen TV, minibar or seating area. A separate cottage has a garden view and sofa.

Dining is available at the on-site restaurant, which serves American, Thai and pizza dishes; breakfast includes juice and fruit. Free WiFi is available in rooms, and free public parking is possible on site. The tour desk, walking tours, bicycle rental, car hire and luggage storage support outings around the island. Haad Rin's shops and nightlife are a short walk away, while the hotel's beachfront grounds provide direct access to the sand. Guests particularly praise the peaceful seaside setting, beach access and attentive staff; some have found mattresses hard and rooms ageing.

The room range includes double and twin layouts as well as a separate cottage, with all six options accommodating up to two people. Room sizes are 26 or 32 m². Sea views feature in several rooms, including one with a partial sea view, while two options look towards the garden. Each room has a balcony, air conditioning and a private bathroom; several also have a terrace. The cottage is distinguished by its garden view and sofa.

Bed arrangements vary between double and twin configurations, and a number of rooms include a minibar. Flat-screen TVs feature in selected options rather than throughout the range. The larger and smaller room types share the same two-person capacity, so the choice is mainly between view, bed arrangement and individual features such as a terrace or seating area. Bathrooms include a shower, and some room facilities include a bidet, hairdryer, free toiletries and towels.

Charung by The Sea pairs a beachfront setting with a private beach area, garden, terrace and outdoor swimming pool. Rooms have air conditioning, private bathrooms and balconies; some also have sea views, flat-screen TVs and minibars. WiFi is free in the rooms, and free public parking is available on site without a reservation. The restaurant serves American, Thai and pizza dishes, while breakfast includes juice and fruit. A tea and coffee maker is among the available food and drink facilities.

For time outside the room, you can use the tour desk, join walking tours, rent a bicycle or arrange car hire. Luggage storage is available, and the beachfront grounds open directly onto the sea. Room facilities include showers, bidets, free toiletries, towels and linen. Selected rooms also have a seating area, electric kettle or refrigerator.

Charung by The Sea sits in Haad Rin on Koh Phangan's southern tip, 9.1 km from Thong Sala. The village has shops and nightlife within a short walk, while the hotel faces a quiet stretch of sand with direct entry to the sea. Haad Rin Nai Beach is 50 m away; Leela Beach and Haad Rin Nok Beach are both 550 m away. The beachfront here combines quieter stretches of sand with Haad Rin's livelier evening scene.

From Koh Samui, the Haad Rin Queen runs directly from Bangrak pier to Haad Rin, with a crossing of about 20–30 minutes and roughly six sailings a day. The hotel is 200 m from the Haad Rin Queen terminal, so you can walk the final stretch. Shared songthaews also run from Thong Sala to Haad Rin, along a steep island road. Free public parking is possible on site without a reservation. Check-in is from 14:00 to 21:00.

Ban Haad Rin is 300 m away, and the Full Moon Party site on Haad Rin Nok is 600 m from the hotel; the event takes place monthly. Haad Yuan is 2.2 km away and has no road access, so reach it by taxi-boat from Haad Rin. Jungle Flight Adventure Park is 6.2 km inland. February to April are usually the driest, calmest months; on the east coast, seas can be rough in November and December, which can affect boat outings.
