Access is by road or rail, and if the journey is long, there is more than ample reward in Chumphon's complete lack of crowds.
Phetchaburi
For visitor interested in Thai history and culture,
an excursion 65 kilometres north of Cha-am to Phetchaburi is not be missed.

major artistic centre during the Ayutthaya period . This is witnessed
today in the superb temple murals of Wat Yai Suwannaram and Wat Ko Kaew,
which rank among the finest examples of their kind.
There are other fascinating temples around town, while dominating the
northern outskirts is Ara Nakhon Khiri, a hilltop palace and observatory
built in the 19th century by King Rama IV. The buildings have recently
been restored and a small museum added. A visit is also rewarding for
the fine views of the surrounding countryside afforded by the vantage
point.
