Chumphon is a sea coast city parallel to the Gulf of Thailand.
It is the gateway to other southern provinces. Along more than 200
kilometres of Chumphon’s seashore, there are many beautiful
and picturesque beaches. Still maintaining the natural beauty, the
province is best for those who seek relaxation in the natural and
uniquely quiet atmosphere.
From the documents, Chumphon was continuously the locations of
many communities since the pre-historic period, especially in the
area near Tha Taphao River banks. Chumphon was also one of the leading
trading centers of Siam (former name of Thailand).
