Journey Hostel Surat is on Porkhuntalay Soi 2 Road in Surat Thani, the provincial capital of Surat Thani province in southern Thailand, where the town sits beside the Tapee River. The town has the feel of a working provincial place rather than a resort, and it is a practical base for travellers passing through.

Central Plaza Surat Thani, a shopping centre, is 950 m from the hostel, and Wat Phothawat, a Buddhist temple, is 2.8 km away. Diamond Market is right next to the hostel, and the Surat Thani City Pillar Shrine and Koh Lamphu Public Park are also nearby. Surat Thani Airport (URT) is 18.4 km from the hostel, and Surat Thani Railway Station is 8.6 km away. The town is also the usual starting point for ferries to Ko Samui, Ko Phangan and Ko Tao, and the Surat Thani (new) Bus Terminal is 1.2 km from the hostel.

A good day could start with a walk to Central Plaza for shopping, then a visit to Wat Phothawat before an evening at the Surat Thani Night Market. The garden and the lounge at the hostel make a place to rest between outings, and the shared lounge has foosball and board games for an evening in.
