The Property — Bluerama Resort
Bluerama Resort is a straightforward three-star spot on Surat Thani's outskirts, about 15 minutes from the city centre by taxi. The lobby feels like a clean, air-conditioned rest stop after a long journey: tiled floors, a small reception desk, and a few sofas. Its USP is its pool—larger than most in this price bracket—and it suits budget-conscious travellers or those passing through to the islands, not anyone seeking resort-style pampering.
Chronicles of Surat Thani
Surat Thani, founded in the early 20th century as a rail and trading hub, grew from a fishing village into the gateway to the Gulf of Thailand islands. Its name, meaning 'city of good people', was bestowed by King Rama VI. The city's architecture mixes modest concrete shop-houses with a few Chinese shophouses and modern civic buildings. Today it’s a busy provincial capital with a growing expat community, known for its night market and proximity to both the coast and rainforest.

- Night market vendors report slower weekday trade in July due to rain; Friday and Saturday evenings are still busy, so plan accordingly.
- The Donsak ferry pier to Koh Samui is undergoing renovation until late 2026, causing occasional queue delays of up to 30 minutes.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Bluerama Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Aim for a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing away from the main road. If available, a corner room often has fewer adjacent neighbours.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor – higher chance of street noise and foot traffic. Also skip rooms directly next to the lift or stairwell.
Best views
Given the standard Surat Thani street address, ask for a room overlooking the rear courtyard or pool (if confirmed at check-in) rather than the front road.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 tend to be quieter, as they’re above the ground-level hubbub but not near any rooftop machinery or bar area.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from the main road is the primary issue – Surat Thani’s traffic can be steady, especially morning and evening. Lift and service area noise also possible near the lift bank.
Insider tips
1. Check in early to request a top-floor back room – these go first. 2. Bring earplugs even if you’ve requested a quiet room; the hotel’s 3-star rating means soundproofing may be basic.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Thai Baht, THB
Best rates at bank branches or ATMs in town; avoid airport exchange counters and tourist-area bureaux that advertise zero commission but give poor rates.
Cards accepted in most hotels, supermarkets, and chain restaurants; street stalls and markets require cash; contactless is common in shopping malls but not everywhere.
Not expected but appreciated; leave small change at restaurants (10-20 THB), round up taxi fares, and tip hotel porters 20-50 THB for luggage.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Black coffee from street stalls or local coffee carts: 25-40 THB.
Rice with a stir-fry or curry from a food stall: 40-60 THB.
A simple noodle dish or grilled meat with sticky rice: 50-80 THB a main.
Night markets and the area around Talat Mai (new market) packed with stalls offering grilled seafood, papaya salad, and roti.
Big C, Lotus's (formerly Tesco Lotus), and Makro are the main budget supermarkets.
The main market (Talat Mai) and night bazaar for cheap T‑shirts, sarongs, and generic clothes; avoid tourist stalls near the pier.
Songthaews (shared pick‑up trucks): 10-20 THB per ride around town. From Surat Thani airport, the cheapest is the airport bus to the bus station (50 THB), then a songthaew or local bus into the centre.
Eat at food stalls rather than sit‑down restaurants; buy bottled water and snacks at 7‑Eleven or a supermarket instead of tourist shops; negotiate songthaew fares if you're the only passenger, but fixed routes are already cheap.

Top Attractions in Surat Thani
💡 Buy a bag of fresh rambutan or mangosteen for pocket change. Watch your step – floors get slippery from melted ice. Best visited before 10am.
💡 Go at sunset: the light over the river is lovely, and food stalls set up along the path selling grilled meats and sticky rice for under 40 baht.
💡 Try the grilled squid and the coconut pancakes (kanom krok) from the far end – cheap and delicious. Cash only, bring small notes.
💡 Visit early morning before the heat builds and you'll often have the place to yourself. Bring a small donation of incense if you want to make a wish.
💡 The museum is free but closes at 16:00 – get there earlier. The stupa's base has small meditation niches where you can sit in silence.
