Surat Thani means ‘City of Good People’ in Thai, a true reflection of the friendly locals you’ll meet during your holiday.
Best time to visit is between March and September, giving you the perfect blend of sunny skies and lush green landscapes. However, Surat Thani has its unique charm any time of the year, so it largely depends on your preferences.
Cultural tours, city walks, snorkelling adventures, night markets, temple visits – you’ll find endless experiences to suit all types of travellers, be it families, couples, or solo explorers.
Food and drink are quite affordable, with a meal at a mid-range restaurant costing around £4. Public transport is cheap, too. Entry fees to most attractions and national parks range between £1 and £3. Prices for activities like diving or guided tours vary, but expect to pay around £20-£50.
There are plenty of options, ranging from tuk-tuks, taxis, songthaews (shared taxis), motorbike rentals, and local buses – all offering an affordable and fun way to see the city and its surroundings.
There are regular domestic and international flights to Surat Thani Airport. Alternatively, you can catch a train or a bus to Surat Thani from Bangkok. The train journey offers breathtaking views of the lush Thai countryside.
Thailand is visa-free for many countries. However, it’s always wise to check the latest regulations regarding visas and travel advisories.
We highly recommend handpicked city centre hotels namely the Tapee Hotel (8.5/10), CBD Hotel (8.2/10), and The Cliff Resort (8.9/10) for their pristine locations, excellent service, and unique features like stunning views, infinity pools, and on-site Thai massage spas.
