Wat Chanthrawat Viewpoint

Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nYo1AyPwA2bvYZKZA

The viewpoint at Wat Chanthrawat is 35 km south of Chumphon town. Take Highway 41 for 31 km and turn left just after the Palm Refinery (has the bee emblem) on the right. This road takes you over the railway line and after 4 km you will see the entrance to the temple buildings at the base of the hill. The road up the hill is just round the corner.

At the top of the hill there is a large grass area.

Beyond the grass area, to the north is a small concrete road that takes you to the viewpoint.

Where the concrete road ends take the path to the left.

 The path takes you up to this shrine.

To the left of the shrine steps have been carved into the rock to allow access up to the viewpoint.

The above picture as taken in November, being towards the end of the rainy season. During the dry season you see more of the mountain rock.

It is a good spot for bird watchers.
