Let Fish Nibble Your Feet at Suan Ta San

Suan Ta San is a hidden gem in Surat Thani. This hidden little spot is a natural-occurring pool, home to the famous foot-nibbling fish you often see in foot spas. These fish, also called Garra Rufa or doctor fish live in the river nearby and people have decided to build a beautiful recreational area, equipped with several seating sections where you can dip your foot in and let the fish nibble away all the dead skin.

These are not the same as the artificial fish spas you often see in places like Khaosan Road. They actually do live in the river and they do look way healthier than those you see in fish tanks in night markets. Some of them are massive! The area is well-shaded with lots of trees. You can even come here for a picnic as there are tables and restaurants ready to serve visitors. The best part is that the entrance fee to Suan Ta San is only 20 THB per person which is actually cheaper than getting a fish foot spa on Khaosan Road. If you have your own vehicle and are looking to do something unique in Surat Thani, be sure to drop by Suan Ta San.
