Chumphon, a seaside city,
facing the Gulf of Thailand, is a gateway to the other
provinces in the south of Thailand. It is divided into 8
districts and it has Ranong province to the west, the
Gulf of Thailand to the east, Prachuap Khiri Khan
province to the north and Surat Thani province to the
south. More than 200 km of the coastline is teemed
with spectacular beaches. It has a plethora of
attractions to offer for those who seek relaxation in a
natural and tranquil atmosphere. Chumphon has not only
beaches but also islands, mountains, waterfalls,
mangrove forrests and national parks. It is also a hub
of transport to Koh Tao which is one of the best diving
spots in the country and perhaps in the world.
