I would book B Boutique Hotel for a family stopover in Surat Thani when you are travelling by car. Free private parking takes care of arrival, rooms are air-conditioned and some have a balcony with mountain views, and an American breakfast is served each morning before you head for the ferry. The 24-hour front desk helps with late arrivals, and the terrace is a quiet place for the evening, 2.5 km from Bandon.

The listing does not put it in a walkable, lively area, so I would book it as a base or a stopover.

The hotel is close to local shops. I would book it as a simple, comfortable base for a family, not as a beach stay.

Private parking helps if you are driving, and the reception is open around the clock.

K Park Grand Hotel works as a family stopover in Surat Thani before or after the ferry to the islands, since it is a short drive from the bus station and the Lomprayah Tapee Pier.

I like that the 24-hour front desk handles late buses and early boats, and parents can book a massage.
