After years of being covered by the heavy shadow of Koh Tao, Chumphon, the Gateway to Southern Thailand, is finally getting on the map as a major tourist destination as more and more people discover the many interesting things the province has to offer.
Some of the most beautiful beaches of Thailand can be found in Chumphon and if you like diving the Marine Park of the Chumphon Archipelago is probably the single most interesting and still largely unexplored diving area on the East Coast.
If you like other forms of adventure you will find pristine Primary Rain Forest just few kilometers out of the town where trekking tours, white waters rafting, animals and bird watching and other activities are organized.
The town itself is clean, quite and relaxing. There are a few hotels offering very reasonable rooms at very reasonable prices and a few excellent restaurants.
If you are visiting the South of Thailand you should definitely consider spending a few days in Chumphon: it is definitely worth it.
Within a 50 km radius of the town you will find a number of interesting things to see.
Rafting in Patho District is the pet project of the tourist authorities of Chumphon, and you will find tours to there from most of the guesthouses and tourist offices.
Other tours offered are to the caves (mostly to Rab Ro cave, which as a cave is not very interesting, but contains a number of very old Buddha statues) and to the various beaches. Snorkeling tours are also offered almost everywhere.
The trekking tour offered by Oh at the New Chumphon Guesthouse is very popular as are the snorkeling and fishing tours from MT Resort.
