CHUMPHON
The gateway to the South, Chumphon is an elongated province with 220 kms of coastline, offering many fine-sanded beaches and attractive offshore islands, with plenty of opportunities for sunbathing, swimming, yachting, paragliding, diving and snorkelling. |
|||
| The most popular beach is Sai Ri, close to the town and lined with some good seafood restaurants. Here you find a small museum and statue to Prince Chumphon, founder of the Royal Thai Navy, and an old torpedo boat The Royal Chumphon. | ||||
|
Other beaches worth visiting are Thung Wua Laen, a long quiet stretch of sand that hosts an annual windsurfing contest, and the idyllic semi-circular bays of Thung Makham Yai and Thung Makham Noi. However, the many islands just offshore are a real treasure, particularly Samet, Mattra and Ngam Noi. Growing numbers of divers are attracted to their excellent coral formations and abundant sea life. |
||||
| By contrast the hinterland of mountains and forests provides attractions for many eco-safaris, which are discovering the beauty of Khlong Phrao National Park, a forest park, waterfalls and numerous caves. | ||||
