Boundary Hostel Cafe is on Na Muang Road in Surat Thani, the provincial capital on the Gulf coast of southern Thailand and the gateway to the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. This is a working town rather than a beach resort, with shops, markets and temples close by and a steady stream of travellers passing through on their way out to the islands. Guests who want a base in town, with transport links at hand, will find the area practical.

The Surat Thani City Pillar Shrine is 1.1 km away, and the Surat Thani Night Market, an evening market of food stalls and everyday goods, is 2.2 km away. Tapee River Viewpoint is 600 m from the property, and Wat Phothawas, a Buddhist temple, lies nearby. Taxis and songthaews are the usual way to get across town, with Surat Thani Railway Station 11.8 km away and Surat Thani Airport 20.5 km away.

A simple day can start at the Downtown Transportation Hub, a short walk away, and continue to Koh Lamphu Public Park and the viewpoint over the Tapee River before an evening at the night market. For a longer outing, Wat Phra Borommathat Chaiya Worawihan in Chaiya is one of the temples of the wider region worth the trip.
