Chumphon This medium sized provincial capital 460km south of Bangkok and 195km north of Surat Thani is considered by Thais as the gateway to southern Thailand both in the literal geographic sense as well as culturally. Historically, it has been a battle field several times over, in struggles with Burma for possession of the Isthmus of Kra, and more recently, a Japanese invasion during WWII.
