One of the strange things about Surat Thani Railway Station is that it is not in Surat Thani, but another town called Tha Kham about 16 km away. There are no tourist attractions in Tha Kham and the only reason most people ever visit this town is to go to the train station. As a consequence, Tha Kham has only three hotels, and there is only one on the main street near Surat Thani Railway Station: the infamous Queen Hotel.
