Port Hostel

Surat Thani


Close to the Night Ferry and Night Market near the historic centre, this friendly hostel has the cheapest beds in town. You get your own spacious pod in a dorm for less than the price of a bunk elsewhere. The showers and toilets are a tad small, but rooms are kept immaculately clean and there are stunning views over the river from the rooftop terrace.

The hostel is also a great place for travellers passing through Surat as it offers a luggage storage service, showers and toilets for small fees and can arrange all kinds of bus and boat tickets for onward travel.
