Best Way(s) to Chumphon from Pattaya

Post by thailen »

Until they cancelled the ferry to HH from Pattaya last year, that was our plan. Now it looks like the train(shudder) is the only half-decent choice left.
Any suggestions? Also, where to say? How long should we plan on staying?
Thanks for your suggestions....

The best way I can think of would be get the VIP airport bus to Bangkok, then the Lomprayah bus to Chumphon. You can also flight to Chumphon now with Nok Air, but they go from Don Muang, not Swampy.

There is a list of Chumphon hotels here: http://huahinforum.com.r24.asia/chumphon/

definitely sleeper train from bangkok class 2, lower bunk, more comfortable, 750bht......they wake you in chumphon,diner cart on board....and will probably still be alive at the end of journey....don't take the bus from bangkok,even my ex wife avoids it,(she grew up in chumphon)
