Top Phunphin Hotel Reviews
Nadpob Mansion
10/10 Excellent
"Had a comfortable and convenient stay here after a late arrival on the train from Malaysia."
Meet Boutique Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Le petit café était parfait puisqu’il n’y a pas beaucoup de magasin à proximité. Par contre, pour le taxi, il était super sympathique et c’était seulement 150 bats. Tout était propre et les fenêtres sont très grandes avec de gros rideaux. Je recommandes si vous voulez être prêt de l’aéroport."
PraiwanRaftHouse
10/10 Excellent
"When you visit Khao Sok or Cheow Lan Lake, the thing to do is stay in one of these raft houses. You’ll take a long tail boat from the dam area to the raft house, which depending on the time of year, you may get rained on. Praiwan Raft house is great because it’s a more authentic experience and is more tucked away in the park, right near where many of the wildlife tours are, so there are animals right next to you. Some people saw a male elephant from their raft house while we were there, and we saw a whole troop of langer monkeys. The staff at praiwan are great, and the accommodations are very clean. However, do note that this is a more rustic place, and there is no power in the individual rooms until evening, at which point there is a fan but no AC. Bathrooms are present in the rooms. My wife and I had a great experience there just hanging out and being in nature. You can swim in the lake or take one of their kayaks out. I would recommend booking directly through Praiwan (or expedia/booking) not one of the tour operators, as the tour programming is included in your hotel stay. We booked through Expedia and paid a lot less than if we booked through a tour operator and still got a guide nature walk, boat tours, etc just for being guests at the hotel. Definitely recommend this place"
The Episode Boutique Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Lovely little boutique hotel with only 6 rooms, out of the way location right on the river, every night you fall asleep to the sounds of nature. Longboat can take you across the river a few times of day to the busy side of town if you fancy something more lively, however it doesn't run too late in the evening. Breakfast is decent too. All in all I would recommend Episode if you're ever visiting Surat Thani for a few days."
The Neenlawat Riverside Resort & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Nice, quiet and clean place. They have restaurants on the site and food was delicious."

BarandBed URT
10/10 Excellent
"Spacious clean room with 2 king beds, cold air-conditioning, decent shower 5 minutes from airport, 6 minute cab to great Thai restaurant (near KFC). We were given early check-in at 11 am at no extra charge , 2 free bottles of water"
Lee Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Very nice deluxe room which was lovely and clean. It had a small balcony but panoramic city views from the double aspect windows being the end room. There was a kettle with complimentary coffee too. The en-suite shower was lovely and light, it also had shower cream and shampoo! The staff were extremely courteous. The buffet breakfast was delicious and had some traditional Thai porridge, steamed pork bun, chicken sausage, selection of curry with rice and egg plant. There was also toast, jam, marmalade and cereal. Great hot drink choice from the self serve coffee machine and fruit juice too. I will be staying at the Lee Hotel again when I’m back in February 2026. I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough, a really excellent choice."
Black Elephant Boutique
4/10 Poor
"Had an overnight stay at hotel due to early flight the next morning. The hotel is situated on what appears to be a backroad rural residential area although its minutes for the airport. Check-in was ok but it was obvious the hotel was empty and that they may have not been expecting my arrival. Once checked in, I was taken to my room which was nice to look at but you could tell it has not been used in a while, the towels were stiff, and bed linens needed to be tossed, the loft style room provided everything that we needed for our stay however there were No food options via grab or bolt in the area. The only food option that was available was provided by the hotel but.. I was hesitant to order due to what appeared to be the downstairs lounge/kitchen area smelled of urine and was filled with cats and kittens on the couch, sofa and table areas. I decided to forego their offerings and to simply snack on what I had in my over night bag. I attempted to work with the staff for a private taxi to the airport the next morning but his pricing was double of what bolt and grab’s fare to the airport. On a positive note it was a simple stay and it was interesting being on a quiet lamp lit road surrounded by tall brush, quite homes and seemingly having the place to yourself (had to turn on the lights to go up and down the stairwell). It was a taste of simplicity to end what was an amazing vacation in Thailand. "
