Surat Thani is a provincial town in southern Thailand, on the Tapi River, and a common gateway for travellers heading to the islands of the Gulf of Thailand. Wangtai Hotel is on Talad Mai Road in the central part of town, where shophouses, markets and temples sit close together. The streets around the hotel carry much of the town's daily life, with food stalls and small shops open into the evening. It is a practical base for a night in town before or after a trip to the islands.

The Surat Thani Night Market is 250 m from the hotel, and Wat Phothawas, a temple, is 350 m away. The City Pillar Shrine, one of the town's landmarks, is 1.2 km away, and Koh Lamphu Public Park, a green space in the centre, is close by. Surat Thani Railway Station is 9.7 km away, and Surat Thani Airport (URT) is 18.9 km away, and an airport transfer is offered.

For a day out, Wat Phra Borommathat Chaiya Worawihan in Chaiya is a historic temple that makes a longer trip from town. Closer to the hotel, the night market and the temples are the easiest sights to reach on foot, and in the evening the market is a good place to eat and shop.
