If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of tips. Located 25 miles away, Surat Thani is worth the drive. Central Plaza Suratthani should be at the top of your list here. Bandon Pier and Kobra Muay Thai Boxing Stadium are interesting attractions too. The locals will also probably point you toward Nakhon Si Thammarat, 60 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihaan. (But we’d also highly recommend CentralPlaza Shopping Mall and Somdet Phra Sinagarindra 84 Park.)
