Siri Guesthouse @ Surat Thani

The Owners are lovely and very helpful and welcoming, the lady even offered to take us to the airport if we couldn’t find an Uber, which was really generous. The room is very clean, included a fridge and TV and good storage space for luggage, feels quite new and bathroom was well equipped with a good shower. I would definitely stay here again!

For me, a solo traveler that travels for food, good coffee, and to meet everyday good humans this one night stay…well…let’s just say I left a piece of me there. The neighborhood is serene and walkable. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept on through SE Asia and the attached restaurant was incredibly good. A one minute walk down the road is a very nice coffee cafe and co-working space.

The room was very clean and comfortable. Very good value. Within a few minutes walk you can find restaurants and grocery stores. Jan was there to greet us before we even got out of our Grab and welcomed us and helped with getting our luggage to our room. We had read that she would make us dinner upon request so we had a delicious dinner in her little tree and plant lined courtyard. My husband had a Sea Bass curry which was the best fish he has had so far after 3 weeks in Thailand. Perfectly cooked. My curry was wonderful as well. Jan got some of the spice and produce from her garden while we were sitting and enjoying the birds around the area. One was hanging around one of the hanging baskets and I received some follow up messages and pictures that showed a nest and then a picture of a baby bird and another egg. These are the best memories that you make on a holiday! I cannot comment on location but it was about 15 minutes from the train station (300 bht) and then the Grab picked us up the next morning for our trip to Koh Lanta. (We were even able to watch a bit of Netflix on TV in the room.)

Siri Guesthouse is the best place we stayed in Thailand! It is located in a safe and quiet area, close to good cafes and massage places. The night market is 5 minutes away by taxi (about 80 Baht). Also, there are free bikes! The room was clean and spacious, with both air conditioning and fan, and the bed comfortable. What makes this place special is the host, Jar. She is very kind and attentive, speaks very good English and gave us great recommendations. We highly recommend this place! We will definitely come back.

As others have said, the owner/manager is so friendly and accommodating. We only stayed one night, but she already made a lasting impression. She went out of her way to make us a delicious dinner and even opened the restaurant early to make us breakfast. My partner was so thankful that she made her some simple, bland food without the usual Thai spices. The accommodation itself is simple, but comfortable. The room was large and had everything you’d expect for a short stay. The fact you can borrow bikes for free is pretty cool. It’s located conveniently to a large supermarket, a few restaurants, and a fancy cafe and co-working.
