Surat Thani in Thailand THAILANDE thailand. surat-thani Informations and links Surat Thani150000 Map Surat Thani Photos Surat Thani Population on 01-Apr-00 : 111276 ------------------------------- Thani is a city in southern Thailand. It is the capital of the province Surat Thani, and sometimes referred as Mueang Surat Thani to more clearly distinguish it from the province. The city has a population of 122,998 (2004), and an area of 68.97 square kilometers. The city's density is 1783.36 inhabitants per sq. km. It is located at 9?8?N 99?19?E, at the mouth of the river Tapi on the Gulf of Thailand. The city has no tourist attractions, and is thus only known to tourists as a transfer to the nearby Ko Samui island. The city received its name by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) in 1915. The name means City of Good People, and was given to the city due to the high devotion of the locals to Buddhism. Previously the city was known as Bandon, which means Village on higher ground. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) A unified Thai kingdom was established in the mid-14th century. Known as Siam until 1939, Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country never to have been taken over by a European power. A bloodless revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy. In alliance with Japan during World War II, Thailand became a US ally following the conflict. Thailand is currently facing armed violence in its five Muslim-majority southern provinces..
