Booking a tent in Koh Surin (page 2 of 2)

Good evening, What date are you planning to leave for Surin? I might be able to help you with the resort. Otherwise, there are plenty of other suitable resorts, but they’re a bit farther from the bus station.

For your return trip from Surin to Khao Sok, you’ll first need to find transport to Takua-Pa, which is the main transport hub, and then find a bus to Suratthani that’ll drop you off at Khao Sok within that timeframe.

You’ll be in Thailand, and schedules—especially for boats and buses—are flexible, even unpredictable. Also, at the end of the day, drivers tend to prioritize passengers going all the way to their terminal.

The least adventurous option is to spend another night in Khuraburi and head to Khao Sok early in the morning. There are plenty of buses then.

Best regards.

Thanks for the details and tips on transportation between the Surins and Khao Sok. We’ll plan to spend one night in KhuraBuri on the way back from the islands. We’re planning to arrive in Khura Buri on the 16th to catch the boat on the 17th. Then return from the islands on the 21st to KhuraBuri. So we’re looking at nights on 16/01 and 21/01 in KhuraBuri. If Boon Piya has an affordable room for 3 people (with an extra bed), that would be perfect. Thanks

Hi and thanks to Hmh for this additional info.

Jean-Marie, if the Boon Piya Resort in Khura Buri is fully booked on the reservation sites for your dates like it is for mine, try Airbnb—this hotel is also listed there.

It says that to reach Khao Sok National Park, you need to take a bus to Takua Pa first, then switch to a bus heading to Surat Thani. With the first bus from the port to Khura Buri bus station, that’s 3 buses... At first glance, a transfer seems much less tiring.

Just a heads-up from my experience: the village of Khao Sok is really far from the dam where the lake excursions start.

To get to Khao Sok National Park, you need to take a bus to Takua Pa, then switch to a bus heading to Surat Thani.

Hi, Exactly!

Hello, Thanks for the details. We’ve booked at Boon Piya for the 16th and 21st. I saw that the connection to Khao Sok was indeed a bit tricky... We hadn’t planned on doing a lake excursion, just exploring the park. We’re taking off tomorrow morning. Maybe we’ll meet up! JM

Hi Henri, We’re back in France after a month in southern Thailand. Thanks for your tips about Koh Surin and your recommendation in Khura Buri: Boon Piya Resort, where we stayed before and after our trip to the Surin Islands. We loved our trip and really enjoyed our stay. Thanks again! Best, JM

Glad I could help you out, and thanks a bunch for your feedback—it’s not something we get often. Best regards, Henri-Michel

hi daisy I know kon surin’s post is a bit old, but could you tell me how much you paid for 3 DAYS 2 NIGHTS or 4 DAYS 2 NIGHTS from Kon Payam? 😅🏽 THANKS IN ADVANCE IF YOU HAVE ANY INFO OR CONTACTS FOR KOH PHAYAM
