About Chumphon
Chumphon sits at the narrowest point of the Thai peninsula, where just 44 kilometers separate the Gulf of Thailand from the Andaman Sea. The province covers 6,010 square kilometers and for most travelers serves only as the ferry port to Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, and Koh Samui. But anyone who treats it as a transit stop is missing one of the most genuine coastal regions in the country. With around 500,000 residents and an economy still built on fishing and fruit farming, Chumphon gives content creators access to a Thailand that has not been polished for tourist consumption.
Chumphon's coastline runs 222 kilometers and surprises with its variety. Thung Wua Laen Beach, about 16 kilometers north of the provincial capital, is the best-known strip: two kilometers of white sand lined with casuarina pines and coconut palms, backed by a handful of resorts and local food stalls. On weekdays you will likely have the beach to yourself. Ao Thung Makham south of town is a protected mangrove area dotted with fishing villages, crab traps, and oyster farms. Hat Sai Ri, the city beach, lies just five minutes from the center and at sunset offers a skyline of fishing boats and temple spires.
The diving off Chumphon's coast is one of Thailand's best-kept secrets. The offshore islands Koh Ngam Yai and Koh Ngam Noi hold some of the finest dive sites in the western Gulf. Whale sharks are spotted regularly between February and April, a fact that remains an insider tip among dive vloggers. A two-tank dive costs from 1,500 Baht including equipment and boat transfer. Snorkeling day trips to the nearby islands start at 800 Baht. The reefs see far less traffic than those around Koh Tao, which means better visibility and undisturbed filming conditions.
