Post by canthai »

Has anyone been to the beaches near the Chumphon airport. (Pathio Distrct) If so how was it and where did you stay?

Cheers

Been to nearly all of them, Bo Mau is a nice bay with a few resorts. Here are some pics from a trip I did a couple of years back - nothing much has changed: http://bangsaphanguide.com/forum/viewto ... 760&p=4845

Just one thing to be aware of is that area has far more rainfall than Hua Hin, we went down for a weekend last December to a beach resort just south of there and we went from clear blue sky here to an absolute deluge for two days in Chumphon. The locals said that it wasn't unusual for the time of year. It was a pity as there are beautiful beaches but not much use in the rain.
We stayed at Thungwalaen beach which is between the airport and Chumphon.
