Mu Ko Chumphon National Park

The Walking Track for mangrove forest exploration.


Mu Ko Chumphon National Park is nearest southern of the Gulf diving from Bangkok. It is not as beautiful as the Andaman Sea. But there are group of over 40 islands in the place and most of them are small with caves and are really calm. We can find the highest amount of black coral which are the animal in sea fan class in Thailand.

Chumphon sea is very fertile and rich of marine life which is very interesting for tourists who like varieties of seafood. We can walk on the bridge to study and learning about the wild life around mangrove forest. Fruits are also abundant here for example durian, rambutan, banana, mangosteen, orange etc. On Hat Sai Ri, there is one famous shrine and monument of the Admiral Prince Chumphon Khet Udomsak who was the son of the King Rama V.
Scuba diving, snorkeling, fresh sumptuous seafood, nature hikes, village visits, or just relaxing on the beach are able to be found here at anytime.

This beach has no many people like Pattaya and Phuket beach which have many facilities such as hotels, shops and stores for tourism. High travel season is around March and April. There is no monsoon during this period of time.
