Found on the south east coast of Thailand, Chumphon Port lies in the Chumphon Province of the Mueang Chumphon District. Chumphon Port has remained relatively unspoilt by Thailand’s mass tourism, and still boasts pristine sand beaches, unexplored caves and picturesque walking trails. There are three ferry routes coming out of Chumphon port, providing the crossing to some of Thailand’s most southerly islands. The routes to Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and Koh Samui all run once a day, usually departing Chumphon Port in the early hours of the morning. The sailing to Koh Tao lasts around 2 hours 30 minutes, whilst the crossings to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan take around twice the time. There are no catering facilities at the port or on board the vessel, so it may be advised that passengers bring their own food and drink.
