The Surat Thani train station, despite its name, is located in Phunphin district, about 12km west of the town center. Most comfortable are the overnight trains from Bangkok, which arrive in early morning. There are always many who try to catch the tourists and sell them trips to Surat or the islands directly - usually the most aggressive sellers are the most expensive. However, it's not a big problem to reach the city itself from the railway station. Municipal busses depart the train station for Surat Thani city every 30 minutes and cost 20 baht. Taxi drivers come in to the station to try and find passangers, but if you go outside and turn immediately to the left, there is a stand with taxis charing a fixed price of 140 baht to Surat Thani.
