Thailand Driving Tour | Driving in Surat Thani City

Surat Thani is a city in southern Thailand. It's the capital of Surat Thani Province. The city is located in the central part of southern Thailand, along the Gulf of Thailand coast.

Surat Thani is a major transportation hub for travelers heading to the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao. While the city itself is often used as a transit point, it has its own attractions and charm.

One notable spot is Ratchaprapha Dam or Cheow Lan Lake, located in the Khao Sok National Park. This artificial lake offers spectacular limestone karst formations and is a popular spot for boat trips and overnight stays in floating bungalows. Nearby, Khao Sok National Park is one of Thailand's most beautiful national parks, renowned for its dense jungles, wildlife, and limestone formations. The city also houses several temples worth visiting, including Wat Suan Mokkh, a famous forest temple. Like many Thai cities, Surat Thani has a lively night market where visitors can sample local foods and buy souvenirs.

In terms of transportation, Surat Thani has a domestic airport, and there are frequent buses and trains connecting it to Bangkok and other parts of Thailand. The city also has piers where ferries depart for the nearby islands.

Historically, the region has been inhabited for over a thousand years and was once part of the Srivijaya kingdom, a powerful maritime empire that controlled much of the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra.

Aside from tourism, Surat Thani is also known for its agriculture, especially rubber and coconut plantations. If you're traveling in southern Thailand, it might be worth spending a day or two in Surat Thani to explore the city and its surroundings before heading to the more touristy islands.
