How to Get to First Residence Hotel from the Airport

Getting to First Residence Hotel from Surat Thani Airport (URT) is straightforward, with several convenient options available. The airport is located approximately 25 kilometres from the hotel.

  • Hotel Private Airport Transfer:

    For the utmost convenience and a seamless arrival, you can pre-book the hotel's private airport transfer service. This service offers a comfortable and direct journey to the hotel. Contact the hotel directly for pricing and booking details. This is a recommended option for a stress-free start to your holiday.
  • Taxi:

    Metered airport taxis are readily available outside the arrivals terminal. The journey to First Residence Hotel typically takes around 30-40 minutes, with fares estimated between AUD $25-35, depending on traffic.
  • Ride-hailing Service:

    You can also use a ride-hailing service booked via a mobile app. These services offer competitive pricing and a convenient way to reach the hotel. The estimated cost is similar to a metered taxi.
  • Local Bus:

    While less direct, local bus services operate from the airport towards the city centre. You would then need to take a local songthaew (shared taxi) or a short taxi ride to reach First Residence Hotel. This is the most budget-friendly option but requires more time and navigation.

We recommend pre-booking an airport transfer service for a smooth and comfortable journey to First Residence Hotel.

The evening staff were very helpful as regards booking a rental car and boat transfers etc. However the morning staff of the day we rented the car refused to be a third party witness of any previous damages even though we were told the night before that they would. Restaurant was closed very early so had to depend on the very few restaurants surrounding. Chaweng beach is beautiful and we spent a lot of time there although a good 30 minute walk. We had a great stay but the hotel is a good distance from the main town. Would highly recommend to higher a car to see all that koh samui has to offer!

The service was exceptional. The room was decent sized and cleaned everyday. The view from balcony to the pool was also good. The pool was quite big and clean. The breakfast was a little too expensive at 250 baht and the bathroom had a bit of a smell but except for that, it was a good value for the money. The location was quiet but walking distance to the chaweng downtown area. There were also some good restaurants close by.

Spent 5 days at first residence and was a pleasant stay. Room nice and clean as well as the bathroom. Far end of chaweng so you need to hire a bike or take taxi to get to main part. Pool was nice and clean, dunno about the restaurant as didn't eat there. Only thing lacking is a room safe, can use the safes at main reception bit that is only between certain hours.
