Chumphon is a sea coast city parallel to the Gulf of Thailand. It is the gateway to other southern provinces. Along more than 200 kilometres of Chumphon’s seashore, there are many beautiful and picturesque beaches. Still maintaining the natural beauty, the province is best for those who seek relaxation in the natural and uniquely quiet atmosphere.
From the documents, Chumphon was continuously the locations of many communities since the pre-historic period, especially in the area near Tha Taphao River banks. Chumphon was also one of the leading trading centers of Siam (former name of Thailand).
Due to being the frontier city, the name “Chumphon” is believed to derive from “Chumnumphon”, which means the accumulation of forces. Whenever there was any movements of the army, the soldiers would gather their forces here at this province.
The other source believed that it should be derived from a local plant named “Maduea Chumphon” due to its richness in this area. Therefore, naturally, this plant has become a symbol of the logo of Chumphon Province.
