Strategic location

Why Thalang is Phuket’s best driving base.

Staying in tourist-heavy beach areas like Patong or Kata often means spending 45–60 minutes in traffic jams just to leave town. NaraRin is situated in central Thalang on Route 402 — giving you wide, flat, fast roads in every direction.

From our gate, Phuket International Airport is 15 minutes away, untouched national park beaches (Nai Yang, Mai Khao, Nai Thon) are 15 minutes away, and the Sarasin Bridge leading to Phang Nga Bay, Samet Nangshe viewpoint and Khao Lak is only 25 minutes north. You get the calm of a jungle resort with total island mobility.

Sister business advantage: Ben Phuket Car Rent

NaraRin Resort and Ben Phuket Car Rent are co-owned and run by the same family team. That means your accommodation and your vehicle are booked and coordinated in a single friendly WhatsApp conversation, with zero third-party middleman fees.

Practical questions

Frequently asked questions about Stay & Drive.

Can I pick up the rental car directly at Phuket Airport and return it at NaraRin?

Yes! Ben Phuket Car Rent offers free 24/7 handover at Phuket International Airport (HKT). We meet you at the arrivals gate with your keys, you drive 15 minutes straight to NaraRin, and park in front of your villa. When your holiday ends, you can return the car at the resort or at the airport terminal.

Is car delivery to NaraRin Resort free of charge?

Yes, 100% free. Because NaraRin Resort and Ben Phuket Car Rent share the same ownership, delivery and collection at your villa door are completely free for resort guests.

Do I need a credit card to rent a car?

No credit card lock is required. We accept a simple cash or bank transfer deposit (฿3,000 for sedans, ฿5,000 for Fortuner SUV) which is returned immediately when you return the car in good condition.

What driving license do I need in Thailand?

You need your national driving license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP, 1949 or 1968 convention) or a valid Thai driving license, along with your passport. Driving is on the left side of the road.

How do I book a villa and a car together?

You can book your villa directly on www.nararinphuket.com, and reserve your car on www.benphuketcarrent.com. Or simply message Ben on WhatsApp (+66 65 748 8555) with your arrival dates to arrange your room and car together.
