Rajthani Hotel Surat Thani - SHA Certified
Talat Mai Road stopover in Surat Thani town, a short walk from the night market
About this hotel
Rajthani Hotel Surat Thani is a practical overnight base for families moving through the city. The air-conditioned rooms all have a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, a fridge and a desk, and many look out over the city. Free private parking is a real advantage for anyone driving, and a paid shuttle service helps with transfers to the train station or the airport. The 24-hour front desk handles late arrivals and early departures, and security is on duty all day. With 1,797 reviews and a score of 8 out of 10, it is one of the most reviewed addresses in Surat Thani, the usual mainland stop before the ferries to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.

Our take
Rajthani sits at 293/96 Talat Mai Road in Surat Thani town, a short walk from the night market and the Tapi riverfront, not out at the railway station. That matters: trains from Bangkok stop at Phun Phin, about 15 km west, while the night boats to Koh Tao and Koh Phangan leave from the Ban Don pier in town. I would book it for one night between a train, a bus or a flight and the islands, especially by car, since parking is free and the front desk works 24 hours. I would not book it as a holiday base: no pool is listed and the town has no beach. Booking guests rate it 8.0 from 1,797 reviews.
- If you arrive by train, remember that Surat Thani station is in Phun Phin, about 15 km from the hotel, so arrange the transfer before a late arrival.
- For an overnight crossing to Koh Tao or Koh Phangan, the night boats use the Ban Don pier in town, which makes this street a practical place to wait.
- Day ferries to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan leave from Don Sak, more than an hour's drive east, so do not plan an early boat on foot from here.
- Eat at the Surat Thani night market a few minutes' walk away; it is the easiest dinner in town after a long transfer day.

Why guests love itRajthani is a practical overnight for families moving between the mainland and the Gulf islands. Family rooms are air-conditioned, with a fridge for drinks and snacks and a walk-in shower that keeps bath time quick after a hot travel day. Free private parking suits a road trip, and the 24-hour front desk helps when a train into Phun Phin or a bus arrives late. The night market a short walk away covers dinner without a taxi. Children expecting a pool will be disappointed, as none is listed. Between October and December the Gulf gets its heaviest rain, so I would keep a spare night here in case a sea crossing to Samui or Phangan is delayed.
