This really is a 10/10 place. My husband and my favourite place we’ve stayed, this trip to Thailand. We’ve already decided we want to come back, with friends, next time.
We wanted a place to cut our drive to Bangkok and had no idea Sarat Thani and the surrounding area had so much to offer.
Mr. Pongsak, the owner, could not be more lovely. He is so thoughtful and invested in making sure everyone who stays has the best experience and shares his knowledge of the area and all the things there are to do and see.
We drove a rented car, and found it sooooo peaceful and relaxing to be there. And so close to get to town, markets and lots of yummy foods.
We cannot wait to share this gem with friends and try the other cabins. The pond with all its fish is a gorgeous water feature too.
They opened in 2025 and are building a third cabin. They are modern and still so charming and relaxing.
Cannot wait til we can return on our next trip.
My only concern is that it is such a great spot and is going to be so popular, we will need to book well in advance next time!
Thank you for everything. See you next time, Mr. Pongsak and family.

พรรฤทธาวารี ภูมิกาThis is my go-to place to stay, great value for money and close to Central Plaza. It's super affordable! Whenever I'm in Surat Thani, I always stay here. It's also not far to drive to Nakhon Si Thammarat. At this price, it's definitely a good deal, highly recommend! The staff are also incredibly helpful and provide excellent service.

The hotel is comfortable, close to Central Surat Thani, and traffic is light. The rooms are relatively new and clean, and the staff provides good service.

Very nice hotel. Clean gym and pool area. Balcony door broken in room 401. But hey, you do get a balcony! Large clean room. Decent bed. Nice breakfast variety. Also great location. Beautiful walk across the bridge and into the city center. Will stay here again. Thank you to the very friendly staff as well.

This one is super close to the Night Market, a super authentic local night market with local Thai prices. The building itself and walls have already aged and it is not a modern hotel anymore, although the reception area is well maintained. AC and TV worked well in the room (however no SmartTV). Mattress was good, rather a hard one, which is common in Thailand and which I do prefer. Staff was professional and spoke very good English.
The shower and bathroom is as on the pictures, clean and comfortable - actually the strongest point of the rooms, together with the fridge and selection of fairly priced minibar items. Cleanliness could be a bit better, e.g. apparently nobody is cleaning under the bed (found some clothing items of previous guests). The LED installation behind the bed is also quite dusty, which is a design mistake and obviously hard to keep clean - this could be designed differently after a renovation.
Remark to hotel staff: in order to keep rooms cool, which are exposed to sun, it would make sense to close the curtains before a new guest arrives. This would also save you AC cost and make the arrival even more comfortable.
Future guests: take note of a 300 THB deposit in cash, which is mainly for the minibar I believe. The hotel informs about the deposit in the terms of Service on Trip.com, which is good. I got the deposit back after staying one night and after deduction of consumed items.
All in all, considering the price and location, I would come and book again, especially if you are staying just 1-2 nights in transit. The hotel is also walking distance to Phantip and Phangan Tour 2000 bus offices, which provide transfers to e.g. Koh Samui or Phuket Town.

I spent my last 8 nights in Thailand in the Regent Hotel as I just wanted to chillax after 2 months travelling! I loved my time there. The staff are extremely helpful and Google translate is great for communication. My room was HUGE! The Air Con was excellent (Rm304)! The bathroom had a wall separating the toilet from the shower and that was great! The electric shower was perfect. The cleaning staff work hard. The gardener is constantly on the go and keeps the outside area spotlessly clean. Well done to him. The wardrobe space was super and storeage was great also. My only complaint (and that’s for every hotel room in Thailand) is the lack of double glazing to keep out the noise from the main rosd traffic. Otherwise everything was great in the hotel Thank you.

A clean and tidy room although the bathroom facilities could have been better such as a shower curtain to stop the water splashing everywhere but otherwise very handy for a couple of local restaurants out front the swimming pool was great and the massage was excellent. Staff were always friendly and helpful, so other than the fact that it was a bit far out of town and there seem to be a slight dampness in the room due to the location next to the swimming pool, we think or down to the extractor fan in the bathroom not working.

Gauthier Antoine P AhnThere was a cockroach in the sink trying to escape. The pipe is not close but leads to the shower evacuation.
The lift doesn't go to the second floor.
It smells cigarettes in the corridor.
I could hear the traffic during the afternoon.
I couldn't close the door of the bathroom from the outside as there was no handle.

laosnewhorizonA Fading Gem with a Fantastic Breakfast
The Wang Tai Hotel feels like a grand dame from a bygone era. Walking into the lobby, you can see it was once a truly luxurious place, and that sense of scale and history is still there. However, it's clear the hotel is in need of a bit of a makeover. While everything is clean, the decor and some furnishings feel a little tired and dated.
That minor point aside, our stay was very pleasant. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly, always going out of their way to assist us.
The breakfast, however, was a wonderful and unexpected highlight! Instead of a standard buffet, it's ordered a la carte from a menu. Don't let that worry you the range is huge, covering both Thai and Western options. Everything we ordered was freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. It felt more like a restaurant experience than a hotel breakfast.
The large swimming pool is a major plus – perfect for a refreshing dip and lounging in the sun. The location is also very good, making it a convenient base for exploring Surat Thani.
In summary, if you can look past the slightly worn edges, The Wang Tai Hotel offers incredible value, spearheaded by a stellar breakfast, great pool, and excellent service. A little refurbishment would easily make this a 5-star experience again.
