Surat Thani at a Glance
About Surat Thani
Surat Thani is a hidden gem on Thailand's southern coast, where ancient temples and bustling markets blend seamlessly together. The city's standout attraction is the majestic Phra Boromathat Chedi Chaiya, a stunning 13th-century temple that showcases the region's rich history and cultural heritage. One unique thing travellers love about Surat Thani is the opportunity to take a boat ride along the Khlong Hae Floating Market, where vendors sell their wares from traditional barges.
The best time to visit Surat Thani is during the dry season from November to February, when the weather is cooler and drier. For first-timers, it's worth noting that the city has a comprehensive public bus network, making it easy to get around without renting a car.
