Chumphon, Administrative province on Gulf of Thailand, Thailand

Chumphon Province spans 6,009 square kilometers along Thailand's southern coast, featuring 222 kilometers of coastline and 44 islands in the Chumphon Archipelago.

The province underwent administrative changes in 1932 when Lang Suan region merged into Chumphon, later facing substantial damage from Typhoon Gay in 1989.

Local fishing communities maintain traditional production methods for shrimp paste and fish sauce, contributing significantly to Thailand's maritime culinary heritage.

Daily flights connect Chumphon Airport to Bangkok, while the central railway station provides regular services to major destinations throughout Thailand.

Between September and October, thousands of eagles migrate from Siberia to Chumphon, creating an extraordinary natural spectacle.
