Baanrimfai Homestay is in Phanom district of Surat Thani province, in southern Thailand, where the landscape is hills, forest and farmland rather than beach towns. The setting is inland and green, with hills rising around the grounds and the wider province's lakes and national parks reachable by road. Countryside walks are a natural pastime in this setting, and the district is quiet and rural.

The main sights in the surroundings are Klong Phanom National Park, 18.2 km away, and the Ratchaprapha Dam, 31 km off, which holds back Cheow Lan Lake, a reservoir set among forested hills. The Phu Ta Cho summit offers a high viewpoint over the forest and the hills around the district. Surat Thani Airport is 63 km away, and the last part of the journey is by road.

A good day out could start with a walk on the hiking trails in the hills around the property, then continue to Klong Phanom National Park, where the forest is the main draw. Back in Surat Thani town, the Surat Thani Night Market, 76.2 km away, is a good place for an evening meal, and Wat Phothawas is a Buddhist temple in the same town. Surat Thani town is the provincial capital.
