Border Run to Burma

On your bike!
... to look at us and then go back in whispering to themselves. It must be wierd for them to see two English people here, as Chumphon is normally a pass through town not a place to stay. After that we continued on our bike ride and saw all the night markets ...
Last day in Chumphon

Chumphon is a town in the south central area of Thailand. Most people don't stop in the town but use it as a jumping off point to the eastern islands of Ko Tau, Ko Samui and Ko Pha Ngan, or for the train north to Bangkok. We decided to stop in Chumphon ...
Short Stop In Chumphon
After miraculously making it to the mainland from Koh Tao, we took a bus to the small town of Chumphon. Bangkok, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao all have quite a few tourists, but we didn't see any in Chumphon until just before our train came. Needless to say, we ...
