Chumphon town is a sleepy city in Chumphon
province southern Thailand.
Chumphon province southern Thailand is about 450 km south of Bangkok
and a rather small province. The main highway No. 41
cross from north to south.
The
whole Chumphon province is very little developed for any kind
of tourist activities. It's strange since Chumphon
province has about 140 miles of coastline and plenty
of attractive Islands with a lot of attractive
beaches -the beaches are not maintained- , coral
reefs and very clear water.
Since the Chumphon province borders the Gulf of
Thailand the weather is also quite stable. There are
a few good hotels but most people
just drive through on their way from Bangkok to the
south. The Chumphon region southern Thailand is beautiful and worth
exploring, the strong point in terms of tourism in Chumphon
is that the whole area is quite untouched and
covered with lush tropical
vegetation, it looks very pretty. Even huge wide trees give shadow to
the highway.
One negative is that the
Chumphon No.41 highway -that is Thailand's north - south highway
running from Bangkok to all the way down to the
Malaysian border- is in bad condition not only
around Chumphon.
Holes and very bad repair works lets the car
jump up and down, the driver is forced into a
permanent slalom to avoid the worst.
This creates constantly dangerous situations since the
trucks and buses do it the same way and one can understand what happen
when long trucks and |
|
buses go slalom at almost 100 km/h. The result is
many end up in the
ditch, the other day I drove from Phuket to Bangkok
and counted 8 heavy accidents on this one journey, where trucks,
buses and Pick up's have landed in the ditch. |
