Surat Thani

SURAT THANI

Surat Thani is southern Thailand's largest province, covers some 12,800 square kilometers, and has an extensive coastline lapped by Thai Golf waters. The provincial capital is 685 kilometers south of Bangkok.Surat Thani boasts some of Thailand's loveliest islands, namely the Penang-sized Koh Samui, Thailand's third largest island, palm-fringed jewel of a sparkling archipelago that includes the stunning 250-square-kilometer Angthong (Golden Bowl) Marine National Park. Surat Thani once formed part, and may have been the center, of the Mahayana Buddhist Srivichaya Empire, which steeped in legend and mystery, dominated the Malay Peninsula and much of Java some 1,500 years ago. Archaeological discoveries at Chaiya district indicate the former empire's splendor.
