About Travel to Chumphon

Chumphon City itself has few attractions which are popular with foreign tourists. The main reason most foreign visitors come to Chumphon, however, is because it’s the connection point between rail services (and long distance bus services) and ferry services to and from the popular island of Koh Tao.

Chumphon Railway Station

Chumphon’s railway station has some points of interest for rail enthusiasts, in particular the wooden railway staff houses and the antique steam engines which are both located on the approach road to the station.

Food in Chumphon

Chumphon also has a night food market on the Krumluang Chumphon Road which is one of the best places in Thailand to try the distinctive cuisine of Southern Thailand which is sold at very affordable prices.

Ferries to Koh Tao

There are three ferry services running between Chumphon Province and Koh Tao and there are several tour operators, as well as the ferry operators themselves, who run transfer services from Chumphon Railway Station to Koh Tao, combining bus transfers from the city centre to the out of town ferry piers from where the ferries to Koh Tao depart. The two ferry services from Chumphon to Koh Tao are:

• Lomprayah High Speed Ferry: This is the premium ferry service to Koh Tao, which uses high speed catamaran ferries. These services depart from Ao Thung Makham Noi Pier, which is 27.5 km by road to the south of Chumphon City.
• Night boat: There are two different converted fishing boat services which depart on alternate nights of the week. There are mattresses to sleep on these inside these very slow ferries which take over 7 hours to reach Koh Tao. They depart from river piers such as  Tha Yang Pier, which is 7 km from Chumphon city centre.
