Tapi River Boat Tour & Floating Market - Surat Thani Thailand

In this video we hire out a longtail boat and explore the Tapi River and smaller canals near the city. We work our way to the floating market that is only open on Sundays. The river flows through the town and eventually to the Gulf of Thailand.
Surat Thani สุราษฎร์ธานี is the largest of the southern provinces of Thailand. It lies on the western shore of the Gulf of Thailand. Surat Thani means 'city of good people', a title given to the city by King Rama VI.
The area of Surat Thani was already inhabited in prehistoric times by Semang and Malayan tribes. Founded in the 3rd century, the Srivijaya kingdom dominated the Malay Peninsula until the 13th century.
The main rivers of Surat Thani province are the Tapi River and the Phum Duang River, which join at the town Tha Kham shortly before they flow into Bandon Bay. The delta of these rivers, locally known as Nai Bang (ในบาง), is directly north of the city of Surat Thani. It consists of several channels with small islands mostly covered by mangroves and orchards.
The river area is covered in dense trees and is a lot of fun to explore by boat.
Enjoy the video!

Surat Thani is a great part of Thailand. This is just one of the things to see in the city. Another popular thing is the night market. Here is a video of it if you want to see what it’s like.

My home is very dry and in the mountains. This is far from what I grew up in and it always amazes me to see how green things are here in Thailand. Surat Thani isn’t well known but it’s a great town.
