- SuratrichardSurat Thani, Thailand1,367 contributionsThis market is certainly popular with local Thais every Sunday. Now and again, there is a special event which, on this occasion we visited, was celebrating the third birthday of the market by giving out free food. In reality there were far too many people there and it was almost impossible to see what food was being given away. Despite staff asking people not to take the food away from the market, we saw many people heading back to their cars with bags of the food.
Normally, even though the market is still popular, it's not as busy although parking can still be a problem despite the best efforts of staff. Some drivers can't be bothered to park properly and just abandon their cars without any thought of other people wanting to park.
There are many stalls selling fruit and cooked foods all reasonably priced. Some have tables and chairs so you can sit by the Klong and enjoy what's on offer.
It's a good way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday and to sample local food.
Highly recommended.Written 17 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - nut2 contributionsto pay the respect to the image of venerable monk “Luang Phor Klom”.who was the past abbot of this temple and very famous for practicing the dharma in the south of Thailand.Offering dedicated to Buddhist monks.Admire the long racing boat.Wat Phothawas is one of the oldest temples in Surat Than.Written 20 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- derektripsPhilippines510 contributionsNeed to walk more than you already do? Go for it! Nice comfortable walk around this small island. Best to do it in the morning or late afternoon. There will be more people there than during the mid-day but still nice either way. Small roadside food vendors before you enter. There is no charge to visit the park.Written 26 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- SuratrichardSurat Thani, Thailand1,367 contributionsThis is the main shopping centre for Suratthani city and is situated on the outskirts of the city. There are large carparks and even at weekends it's possible to find a parking place although some drivers seem unable to park within the lines!
There are many shops including a large department store (Robinsons) and a supermarket (TOPS) and usually there are a number of pop up shops on the ground floor. There appears to be quite a high turnover of shops which is probably a sign of the times given the Covid situation.
On the upper floors are many restaurants and a food court, a cinema and children's play area. Banks and mobile phone shops are plentiful and you can even buy a vehicle!
We tend to avoid weekends as it can get very busy. The centre opens at 10am.
Easy to spend a few hours here and equally easy to spend a lot of money!Written 7 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Gary SchofieldPenzance, UK68 contributionsWasn't too impressed with this place.
