Khao Chao Mueang Viewpoint

Location : https://maps.app.goo.gl/DtzKJxnRZ7ryTc5b8

The viewpoint on Khao (hill) Chao Mueang is south of Hat Sai Ri beach and is about 20 kilometers southeast of Chumphon town by road No. 4119 and 4098. Drive to the end of Sai Ri Beach and as the road turns right take the second road to the left. It is signposted.

You are only able to drive part of the way up the hill to where there is a large car park. From the car park it is about a 300m easy walk on a tree lined paved road to the summit.

Here there is a standing Buddha on a large white stand.

Being at an elevation of 88m above sea level (as the sign says) the Buddha has a lovely view out towards the islands.

The nearest island is Ko Maphrao with its lovely west facing sandy beach.

And behind Ko Maphrao the islands Ko I Raet and Ko Mattra can be seen.

The area around the Buddha is well kept where you can also find this shrine.

Toilet facilities have also provided.
