Surat Thani is a stopover town, so there isn't much to do, but I enjoyed my stay here. The staff were so incredibly nice- the nicest people I met during my three weeks in Thailand! Hotel is not close to city center, but is close to tesco lotus and a spa, so nice for a night or two. Cons: one of my bedroom windows didn't have a curtain, so it was tough to sleep in. The breakfast was pretty dinky. The AC wasn't great. The staff made up for everything though bc they were so nice!!! Great value for money.
