Other nice places to visit in Chumphon
Koh Tao island
Located in Surat Thani province, Koh Tao island is also accessible from Chumphon. It is actually more practical and faster to get there via Chumphon from Bangkok. It is the most famous destination for diving in Thailand. But its picture-postcard sandy beaches, its landscapes, viewpoints and its tourist activities do not only attract divers or candidates for a first dive. Come for several days as there is no day trip and anyway, you have to stay to really enjoy Ko Tao.Other visits suggestions in Chumphon
