Grand Thara Hotel, Surat Thani
The Grand Thara Hotel, Surat Thani comes in sight almost every time we visit downtown Surat Thani, that's how centrally located this hotel is. It's at one of the corners of one of the biggest crossings in downtown, opposite the City Pillar and a bridge, it's kind of hard to miss.
It's also located within walking distance from many eateries and shops, very convenient in the evenings.
The hotel is old, and it comes with stunning 172 rooms and you will be treated to a nostalgia trip with all its ups and downs. The rooms are big and still clean, but the furniture is straight out of a 1970-tees movie. I must admit I like these kind of hotels, to a degree. The Grand Thara Hotel, Surat Thani is good enough to not get turned off and they have a surprisingly fair breakfast buffet in the morning.
For a central location in downtown Surat Thani in olden and in an long gone by style, this hotel is good for a transfer to or from the Gulf islands and it comes with a very decent price tag.
