HOTEL $
Sang Thong Hotel
( 0 4451 2099; Th Tanasan; s 100-350B, d 100-500B; ) Though it's just an ordinary ageing
cheapie, this hotel (aka Siri Surin) is run with jet-engine precision by an army of attentive
staff. Wi-fi reaches some rooms. It's a short walk south of the train station, just past the
fountain.
Surin Majestic Hotel
( 0 4471 3980; www.surinmajestic.com ; Th Jitrbumrung; r incl breakfast 1200-1400B, ste 2200-4500B;
) The rooms here are nothing special, but they can fetch these high prices because
they're the best in town and there are also plenty of extras, including a swimming pool
and fitness room. It's next to the bus station in the heart of town.

Eating & Drinking
Surin's surprisingly exuberant nightlife mostly revolves around the Thong Tarin Hotel
east of the bus station.
THAI $
Tang Lak
(Th Sirirat; dishes 49-300B; 11am-11pm; ) This cute little place, popular with both Thai and
fa·ràng , mixes fake wood and real antiques to create an old-time feel. But it's not all
about the style; the food is delicious. It's north of the Thong Tarin Hotel at the end of the
road.
Petmanee 2
(Th Murasart; dishes 20-80B; 9am-3pm) This simple spot south of Ruampaet Hospital by Wat
Salaloi (look for the large chicken grill) is Surin's most famous purveyor of sôm·đam and
gài yâhng. The súþ nòr mái (bamboo- shoot salad) is good too. There's little English,
spoken or written, but the food is so good it's worth stumbling through an order.
NORTHEASTERN THAI $
Night Market
(Th Krungsri Nai; 5-10pm) A block south of the fountain, this good night market whips up a
wide selection of Thai and Isan dishes.
