Surat Thani

  • Khao Tha Phet Wildlife and Nature Education Center
  • Mu Koh Ang Thong Marine National Park
  • While the name Surat Thani may mean "City of Good People", Surat Thani is also known as the "Province of a Thousand Islands" - many of which lie off the coast in the Gulf of Thailand, including the archipelago with Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and the Mu Koh Ang Thong Marine National Park.

    Most travelers are captivated by Koh Samui's white beaches and the emerald-green sea that reflects the blue sky. Hat Chaweng and Hat Lamai are perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Hin Ta and Hin Yai – a rock formation with a surprising shape in Hat Lamai – are particularly worth seeing.

    Besides idyllic beaches, travelers can also snorkel or dive to discover the beautiful coral reefs, or visit the Khao Tha Phet Nature Reserve, located 210 meters above sea level and offering breathtaking views of the city. Visitors can enjoy seafood at the restaurants along the Tapee River or dine on seafood with a sea view at the Aow Ban Don Tai restaurant.

    Surat Thani has many delicious foods and sweets, including Khanom Jung, Phumriang shellfish, oysters, Khanom Chin (thin rice noodles) with spicy South Indian curry paste, Khanom Chindae and bitter beans with their unique smell.

    Although the weather is generally good all year round, the best time to visit the islands of Surat Thani is between April and November.
