There are several operators in Khao Lak who can book you on their 1, 2 or 3 day package, they will organize the transport from Khao Lak to Kuraburi in minivan and from Kuraburi to Surins on their speed boat. They will reserve a tent and provide you with the meals 3x day. There is a canteen that prepares meals... More

Accommodation is fairly limited on tiny Ko Surin island, just a couple of handfuls of bungalows and two camping sites. We stayed in a bungalow, it was very basic - not much more than a bed, a bit of storage and a simple bathroom. It might be the most basic place you stay in Thailand. Having said this, why on... More
