NK Garden Hotel @Suratthani Airport

The room was simple, but clean and comfy. It's a lovely little place near the airport, though not really close to anything else. The women who run it are incredibly sweet and take great care of you. You can order food from them, and they also sell booze and other drinks.

A quiet neighborhood, too. No dogs barking or roosters putting on a concert in the early hours. For THB460 a night, the room is simple, clean, and comfortable. A small fridge would make it even better. The couple managing the property don't speak English, but they're friendly and helpful. There's a coffee corner with free bananas from 0600 to 1000 AM. Food options nearby are limited, though 7Eleven is 500 meters away on road 4153, beside a few stalls selling fuits and some food. I'll mention Tesco Lotus Express for accuracy, though who shops there? It's a good one-night stop if you've got an early flight from the airport or want to avoid Surat Thani's maze of highways and traffic.

The rooms are spacious and clean, and there's WiFi. It's a really good place to stay for a day or two, about 10 minutes from the airport by car. You can also find good Thai food nearby.

There aren't many food options around, and the staff can't speak English, though they manage. For a solo trip to the airport, the ride costs 150Baht. The room is big and clean, with a hot shower and good internet. Just what you need for a night before flying.
