Guesthouse / Accommodation / Rooms / Bungalows

Nice beaches and interesting islands are situtated close to Chumphon. The city itself may not be described as a beautiful place. Boats and ferries are going from here to Ko Tao and Ko Phangan. Minivans are running to Ranong on the Westcoastevery hour (80 Baht). The South of Thailand begins here and everything changes a little bit – the landscape, food, language ... muslim culture values can already be realized in this region.

Chumphon (ชุมพร) is the capital of Chumphon Province. Like Surat Thani most people only stay here in transit going between Bangkok and the southern parts, including the islands inside the Gulf of Thailand.

Get in

The public bus service operates just north of the centre of town, however many find themselves taking the train, located to the west.

Various ferry companies operate ferries to, or within reach of Chumphon, and/or a bus service into the centre of town. For those who are located in the gulf islands, Chumphon maybe more suitable to transit if you are going to Bangkok as opposed to returning back down to Surat Thani.
