The Lephant Hotel is on the Surat-Takua Pa Road in Phunphin, a district of Surat Thani province in southern Thailand. The road links the Surat Thani area with the west coast, so the hotel is a practical base for a short stay or an onward journey, and a railway station on the southern line is nearby.

Surat Thani Airport is 9.6 km away. For the town, Central Plaza Surat Thani is 16.4 km away, a shopping centre with shops and restaurants for a practical stop, and the Surat Thani Night Market is 18.7 km away, where street food stalls set up in the evening. The Surat Thani City Pillar Shrine, 19.8 km away, is built around the city pillar, and Wat Phra Borommathat Chaiya Worawihan, a historic temple in Chaiya, is 37.2 km away.

The islands of Ko Samui and Ko Phangan are reached by boat from the coast, so the boat is the link to plan around for an onward trip. A half-day outing could combine the evening market in town with a stop at one of the temples. Back at the hotel, the garden and the terrace give a place to rest between outings, and the restaurant and coffee shop are on site for meals.
