Hotels in Surat Thani, Thailand

Surat Thani is a province in southern Thailand, known as the gateway to the Gulf of Thailand's islands like Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. The climate is tropical, with a dry season from December to April (around 77-95°F or 25-35°C) perfect for island hopping and diving in the clear waters of the Gulf, and a rainy season from May to November when you can explore the 1,000-year-old limestone caves at Khao Sok National Park without the crowds. Want to party on a budget? Head to Koh Phangan during the dry months for the famous full moon raves, or save money by visiting the mainland's night markets for cheap eats and live Thai folk music during the wetter months.
