Oasis forest garden is in the Vibhavadi area of Surat Thani province, in southern Thailand, a countryside setting surrounded by greenery rather than a stretch of city streets. Several rooms have mountain views, and the grounds include a garden with paths and comfortable seating areas, plus a terrace where guests can sit outside. The property is run by a private host.

Surat Thani Airport is 27.6 km away, and Ban Yang Station is 15.3 km away. Nearby, the Ratchaprapha Dam is 22.9 km away, and the temple of Wat Phra Borommathat Chaiya Worawihan in Chaiya lies 40.6 km off. Pho Noi camping, a campsite, is also nearby. Most sights are 20 km or more from the property, so a car or taxi is the practical way to reach them.

A day out could start at the temple of Wat Phra Borommathat Chaiya Worawihan in Chaiya and continue to the Ratchaprapha Dam, which is by Cheow Lan Lake. Back in the city of Surat Thani, the Surat Thani Night Market is a place to walk through in the evening. The sights are spread across a wide area, so it helps to plan one or two of them for each day. Between trips, the garden makes a good place to spend the afternoon, with its seating areas and terrace.
