With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Nakhon Si Thammarat, 30 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihaan, CentralPlaza Shopping Mall and Somdet Phra Sinagarindra 84 Park. Don’t skip Surat Thani either! Just 45 miles away, Central Plaza Suratthani, Bandon Pier and Kobra Muay Thai Boxing Stadium are non-negotiable stops here.
