HOP INN Surat Thani is on Liang Mueang Road in Surat Thani, the provincial capital on the Tapi River in southern Thailand. The town works as a practical base for travellers heading to the islands of the Gulf of Thailand, and its streets mix shophouses, markets and modern shopping malls. Surat Thani also has a railway station and a new bus terminal nearby, so it is a common stop for onward journeys.

The Diamond Market is 850 m from the hotel, and the Surat Thani Night Market, 3.9 km away, is the town's main evening market. Wat Phothawat and Koh Lamphu Public Park are further out, while Central Plaza Surat Thani, a large shopping centre, is nearby. A night ferry to Koh Tao leaves from a terminal 5.1 km away, and Surat Thani Airport is 18.4 km away.

A good day could start with a walk to the Diamond Market, then a visit to Wat Phothawat across town, and finish at the night market. For a longer outing, Wat Phra Borommathat Chaiya Worawihan, 34.4 km away in Chaiya, is a historic temple that can be reached by road. Evenings are best spent at the night market, where stalls sell food and everyday goods.
