Getting Around

Motorcycle taxis are easily the fastest and most dangerous mode of public transport in Surat Thani. Unless you know the correct fare, it is a good idea to agree on a fare beforehand. Always wear a helmet, but there is a good chance your driver will not have a spare.

Taking a songthaew (10B within the Muang district) is a safer means of transportation. They are small, blue and everywhere.
