Khao Phang Viewpoint

Location - https://maps.app.goo.gl/hjuTexa1cjm6qqW78

Khao Phang Viewpoint is 12 km northwest of Chumphon Town. Take Route 360 for 6 km and then turn left onto Route 1001. After 5 km take the road to your right, a blue sign indicates to Khao Pang Forest Park. 1 km along this road you should see the road to the viewpoint on the left.

The road to the ridge of Khao Phang is steep in places but of good concrete construction.

It does not take long before you are at an elevation higher than Wat Uthaitham Viewpoint which can be just made out in the distance.

As you continue up the road you will eventually come to a blue sign providing details of Khao Phang Paragliding. The first viewpoint is just to the right of this sign.

This viewpoint is on the ridge and about the center of Khao Phang. It is possible to view east and west. The view to the east looks over plantations with the sea in the far distance.

The view to the west is looking down onto the Asia Highway (Route No. 4) where you are right over the large service area of Khun Sarai.

A platform has been built on this side of the ridge.

The road continues up to the abandoned TV relay station. Need to park the car here and walk along the track past the TV aerials to the end of the ridge. Here you get good view to the south.

Found this rather nice aerial photo of the Khao Phang looking north from the relay station.
