Regent Room Hotel is on Chonkasem Road in Surat Thani, a working provincial town on the Tapee River in southern Thailand. For travellers who want a town base rather than a beach resort, the city centre is about 1 km away. The town is quieter than the coastal resorts, and the hotel's garden, with its swimming pool and tennis court, is a place to rest between outings.

The sights nearby are mostly temples and open spaces. Wat Phothawas, a Buddhist temple, is 1.9 km from the hotel, and the Surat Thani City Pillar Shrine, which honours the town's guardian spirit, is close by. Koh Lamphu Public Park is a green place to walk, and the Surat Thani Night Market, 2.4 km away, fills with food stalls in the evening. The Tapee River gives the area a riverside feel, with a viewpoint over the water.

A good day here can start with a walk through the park and a visit to the temples, then move on to the night market in the evening. Surat Thani is also a common departure point for boats to Ko Samui, Ko Phangan and Ko Tao, and Surat Thani Airport (URT) is 21.1 km from the hotel, so the town works well as a stop for travellers heading on to the islands.
