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.
