Surat Thani Provincial Hall.

Surat Thani Provincial Hall at a glance

Surat Thani Provincial Hall, on Don Nok Road in Makham Tia sub-district, Mueang Surat Thani District, is the seat of the Surat Thani provincial governor's administration -- the government office for the province as a whole, covering the mainland districts as well as the Surat Thani-administered islands of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.

For most Surat Thani-based expats and property owners, day-to-day paperwork -- immigration matters, most municipal permits, utility connections -- is handled at the relevant district or municipal office (or, for islanders, the local Koh Samui or Koh Phangan district office) rather than the Provincial Hall itself. The Provincial Hall becomes relevant for province-level administrative matters that are coordinated at the governor's office rather than the district or municipal level.

Address: Don Nok Road, Makham Tia Sub-district, Mueang Surat Thani District, Surat Thani 84000. This location is cross-confirmed across two independent sources.
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM-4:30 PM, closed Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.
Phone: Surat Thani Provincial Office (สำนักงานจังหวัด): 0-7727-2926. A provincial hall houses many separate departments with their own lines, so confirm the correct extension for your specific matter before visiting.
