Diving

Chumphon province is one of the lesser known diving spots of Thailand. With around 50 islands to choose from there is no limit to what you may find under the surface. With an abundance of marine life, caves and swimthroughs on offer the area can also boast relatively unspoilt diving as it has not been hit by the mass tourism and development that you'll find in Pattaya and Phuket. Although you won't get as good visibility as you can on the Andaman side, if dived at the right time of year, Chumphon can be extremely rewarding both to the novice and experienced diver.

Kite surfing

Kite surfing in Chumphon offers beautiful beaches and nature. Non stop wind and friendly Thai hospitality combine to make your training an unforgettable experience which water sport enthusiasts should not miss! Kitesurf away from right in front of your bungalow at Chumphon's beautiful Tung Wa Laen beach. As a result of it's geographical position this spot has some of the best north east monsoon wind conditions in Asia. Upwind of Tung Wa Laen beach the north east monsoon winds funnel past a large mountain and the wind is given a further push by a sea breeze that kicks in every afternoon. This area is at a trade wind latitude and in November and December winds average between 18 and 20 knots. In March and April this same spot experiences daily 12 to 16 knot winds.

Kayaking

Beautiful rivers meandering through mangrove forests teeming with birds, small bays with white powdery beaches next to limestone formations containing caves leading to hidden lagoons, scenic nearby islands with lush jungle and coral reefs. These are some of the things that make it a fantastic place for kayaking. Chumphon has not yet been affected by tourism in a bad way and we aim to keep it like that. Travelling by kayak we don't interfere with the environment or make any noise, often wildlife doesn't hear us coming and so doesn't hide from us.
