Chiya Great Pagoda.

Discover Phra Borommathat Chaiya, one of Surat Thani’s most treasured Buddhist landmarks and a timeless symbol of faith in southern Thailand. The sacred pagoda enshrines relics of the Lord Buddha, while its distinctive architecture reflects the deep Buddhist history, traditional craftsmanship and cultural heritage of the region.

Phra Borommathat Chaiya is more than a beautiful temple in Surat Thani; it is a living heritage site where spirituality and southern Thai culture continue to endure.

The Clear Water Spring:

Step into the crystal-clear world of Baan Nam Rad in Surat Thani, where natural spring water rises from underground and flows gently through a lush tropical forest. The remarkable clarity of the water reveals fish and the natural life beneath the surface, creating a peaceful freshwater sanctuary surrounded by rich green scenery.

Swim in the cool Baan Nam Rad clear water pool, relax beside the forest, or walk around the nature trails to discover more of this beautiful spring-fed ecosystem. More than a swimming stop, Baan Nam Rad is a refreshing encounter with the pure natural landscape of Surat Thani — clear water, tropical forest and quiet adventure in one place.

Cross a traditional hanging bridge in Surat Thani, suspended above a natural river and surrounded by the deep green scenery of the countryside. As you walk across, enjoy views of tropical trees and flowing water on both sides — a simple but memorable passage into the rural landscape of southern Thailand.

At the far end of the bridge, the journey opens into a mixed tropical fruit garden, where different seasonal fruits grow together in a traditional local orchard. Walk among the fruit trees, discover how local produce is grown and, when available in season, taste fresh tropical fruits directly from the garden — an authentic experience of Surat Thani’s local farming life.

The Culture Village

Step into a traditional silk-weaving village in Surat Thani, where skilled local artisans continue the craft of handmade textiles passed down through generations. Watch the careful weaving process, discover traditional patterns and see how patience, knowledge and local creativity are transformed into beautiful pieces of southern Thai fabric.

Beyond the looms, take time to explore the village and experience the rhythm of everyday rural life. Meet the community, observe traditional ways of working and discover the cultural values behind each handmade creation.
