Information
Surat
Thani is southern Thailand's largest province, covers some 12,800
square kilometres, and has an extensive coastline lapped by Thai
Gulf waters. The provincial capital is 685 kilometres south of Bangkok.
Surat Thani boasts some of Thailand's loveliest islands namely the
Penang-sized Ko Samui, Thailand's third largest island, palm-fringed
jewel of a sparkling archipelago that includes the stunning 250-square-kilometre
Ang Thong Marine National Park.
Surat Thani once formed part, and may have been the centre, of
the Mahayana Buddhist Srivijaya Empire which steeped in legend and
mystery, dominated the Malay peninsula and much of Java some 1,500
years ago. Srivijaya was best described by the itinerant Chinese
monk I Ching after a pilgrimage he made to India during the late
600s. Archaeological discoveries at Chaiya district indicate the
former empire's splendour.
