Southern Thailand
begins with Chumphon, located 500 km from the
country's capital city, is a sliver of a province
with a long coastline facing the Gulf of
Thailand, where a number of unspoilt beaches
afford the opportunity for a quiet escape. There
are offshore islands, too, in particular Ko Tao
island,
which although falling in the Surat Thani
province, is conveniently accessed from Chumphon
and offers some of the very best dive sites in
the whole of the country. Most visitors use
Chumphon as a stopping place to go to or coming from Ko
Tao whereby travel agencies are all located

Accommodation too are available and you can
filled your stomach at the nearby small night market.
