Neenlawat Riverside is in the Phunphin area of Surat Thani province, in southern Thailand. Surat Thani is the provincial capital and the usual gateway for travellers heading on to the islands of the Gulf of Thailand, so the hotel can work well as a base for a trip that continues by sea. Everyday services are close by, including a hospital and cash machines.

Surat Thani Railway Station is 1.8 km from the hotel, and Surat Thani Airport is 9.7 km away, so both trains and flights can bring you here. Most sights are further off: the Surat Thani Night Market is 11.3 km away, Central Plaza Surat Thani, the large shopping centre, is 9.3 km, and the temple Wat Phra Borommathat Chaiya Worawihan lies 32.9 km away in Chaiya. Because the sights are further than a walk from the hotel, a car or taxi makes most trips practical, and the hotel's own parking is free.

A day out could start at the Surat Thani Night Market in the evening, followed by a visit to the temple at Chaiya the next day, before returning to the resort's pools and spa. Travellers with more time can carry on by boat from the province to the islands.
