Sometimes tourism has a tendency to spoil the natural beauty of a place. This is not the case in the magical city of Chumphon, Thailand. As the gateway to the Chumphon Archipelago, this city has maintained natural, untouched beauty. Its miles of coastline are full of fine beaches with fishing, swimming and a number of other activities.
Sights
The biggest draw to this region are the natural wonders – especially the beaches. The Pathio Coast, also known as the "Royal Gold Coast," is miles of open beaches and limestone surrounded baths. You practically have your pick of spots to lay your towel on.
Thung Wua Laen, better known as Running Bull Beach, is a long beach of white sand and fantastic activities like diving, snorkeling, kayaking and more beach sports. Bang Son Beach is mostly untouched with a few resorts under construction, and Laem Thaen is a sloping peninsula with a breathtaking cliff view. Ao Bo Mao, or Spring Tree Bay, is ideal for the traveler who is seeking peace, quiet and the occasional long walk through nature. This area has several bungalow resorts and restaurants to enjoy. Coral Beach is a giant area with a clam sanctuary, and Ao Thung Makham is one of the most beautiful and untouched in the whole country.

A wander through this park will give you a variety tropical trees to find shade under. The Mo Ku Chumphon National Park provides a stroll through the mangrove forests and over creeks. And the Khao Chao Mueang is the area's highest observation point. The panoramic views plus the peaceful atmosphere are some of the most marvelous you'll find.
