Doi Ta Phroi Viewpoint

Doi Ta Phroi Viewpoint is some 59km south of Chumphon town. Take Highway 41 from Chumphon town for some 47km till you reach the Khao Pip intersection (a Tesco store is on the right just before the intersection). Turn right at the intersection onto road No. 4139 heading towards Khao Thalu. After 4km, just after a temple, turn left and continue down this road for 7km. As you pass under electricity lines look out for this small track on your right in a rubber plantation. 
This track takes you right up to the viewpoint. The last 100m is very steep so if you do not have a 4 wheel drive best park up at the base in the durian orchard. 
The walk up to the viewpoint has been made easy with a stepped path at the side of the track.
At the top you get a great view looking towards the north.
The view to the south.
At the viewpoint you will find a coffee shop - Cowboy Coffee Camp.
Whilst the name says cowboy it very much resembles an Indian encampment with tents.
They have a lot of stuff for you to get that Instagram moment.
