Moreover, A little bit more luxury resorts and some variety of high end restaurants, you may find it at Klong Nin and Klanting Bay.

Krabi ( กระบี่ )

Krabi, south Thailand vacations

krabi is one of the best destination of Thailand vacations since it is one of the most relaxing province in Thailand with full of fantastic nice beach with white sand, wonderful scenery , a coastline with over 200 islands as well as a jungle-covered interior revealing towering limestone cliffs, caves, waterfalls and exotic wildlife.

I would like to recommend Krabi for the visitor who looking for the place that less crowded than Phuket and just away 80 minute by air from Bangkok. Tourist may know Krabi is the destination for diving for the well known island PHIPHI but what I can tell you is make a short break here and you will perceive Krabi has everything that other destination wisely doesn’t have.

Krabi is situated on the south of Thailand and 814 kilometers from Bangkok. West of Krabi is the Andaman Sea and Phang Nga province.   Trang and the Andaman Sea on the South. The border on the north adjoins Phang-nga and Surat Thani.

Chumphon ( Chumphon hotels )

Chumphon hotels. It only in my opinion!!  Price from high to budget

 The Novotel Chumphon Beach Resort and Golf

 

The Novotel Chumphon Beach Resort and Golf, South Thailand vacations

“The Novotel Chumphon is a 4 star hotel on Parandonpab Beach, 15km south of Chumphon along the southeast coast of Thailand. The perfect place for a dream holiday, the resort is easily accessible by road and rail and is 60km by boat from Koh Samui. Set ona golf course, it offers 86 rooms, excellent meeting facilities, two bars and two restaurants serving an array of local seafod and international cuisine. Guests enjoy direct beach access and the spectacular clear waters of the Gulf of Siam.” https//www.novotel.com

Directions

From Bangkok, take the King Rama 2 highway, then the No.25 highway. Follow signage forSamut Sakorn and Samut Somgkram, take the No.4 highway in the direction of Petchaburi, then follow Hua Hin, PrachuaKiri Kan, Chumphon, then follow signs for Lompraya catamaran speed boat and Sai Ri Beach. From Surrathani airport, take the No.41 highway in the direction of Bangkok to Chumphon, On arriving in Chumphon, follow route No.4001 then follow No.4119 and finally route No.4089 towards Sai Ri Beach. 

Some review from Tripadvisor “This resort is in a less than popular location. Chumphon is mainly used as an entry point to the island via the local ferry services e.g. Lomprayah . The area is not especially beautiful, but we used it to spend a couple of nights before heading to Koh Toa. The resort is very clean and when we were there it was very quiet - we virtually had the place to ourselves which was nice. The rooms are clean and a good size, but not especially luxurious. The staff were very helpful and responsive. My only complaint was having to pay for WiFi.. Which I always object to.
It may have been the lack of visitors, but not all F&B options were available, but what was on offer was good. The breakfast spread had a good selection.
I would encourage you to try out the spa. It has very reasonable prices and the Thai massage is fantastic.”

Chumphon (ชุมพร)

chumphon ,South  Thailand vacations

We can say that Chumphon is the frontier city to the other south Thailand region, since the province is located in the most upper part of the Southern region and approximately 470 kilometers from Bangkok. To the north is Prachuap Khiri Khan province , Hua Hin beach is well known for tourism and to the south is Surat Thani which famous for Samui island. The west of Chumphon borders with Myanmar and the east lies 222 kilometer long beaches.

Chumphon has several natural attractions both inland and  coastline , including islands,  beaches , mountains  and natural parks which have been untouched by tourists.

Some visitors made a short stop in Chumphon before travelling on to Koh Tao or Koh Samui, but I can say that they miss one of the most peace province in south Thailand.
