Surat Thani

"Surat Thani, Thailand is a hidden gem waiting to be explored! As a solo female traveller, I was initially hesitant about navigating the local food scene with my dietary restrictions but was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of delicious Halal options. And as a lactose-intolerant foodie, I was thrilled to discover the incredible coconut-based dishes that the region is known for. Beyond the food, Surat Thani offers breathtaking natural scenery that's perfect for photography and hiking. From the lush greenery of Khao Sok National Park to the stunning waterfalls at Tapioca Farm, I was constantly in awe of the beauty around me. But what really made my trip memorable was the opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture. From exploring the street art scene in the Old Town to attending a traditional Thai dance performance, I felt like I was getting an authentic glimpse into the daily lives of Surat Thani's residents. If you're looking for a unique and enriching travel experience, Surat Thani should definitely be on your list!"
