Hotels in Surat Thani, Thailand
Surat Thani is a southern Thai province on the Gulf of Thailand, famous as the departure point for Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, but also for the breathtaking limestone pillars of Cheow Lan Lake. The climate is tropical, with dry winters from November to April when temperatures hover around 77-95°F (25-35°C) - perfect for sailing to Ang Thong Marine Park or taking a longtail boat through the lake's emerald waters. In the rainy season from May to October, cooler temperatures of 70-85°F (21-29°C) and fewer crowds make it ideal for exploring the ancient Chaiya ruins and hiking to the 100-foot Wen Kan waterfall.
