"The best adventures in life are the ones you don't expect..."

Day 9 : 13 September 2013 (Saturday)

Distance: 549 km

By 08:00hrs we checked out of the hotel and drove towards Nurul Rahman Mosque to take some pictures and noted down the GPS coordinates for future reference. Later we went to Aminah Restaurant for breakfast.

It was raining heavily on the way to Chumphon. We detoured to Chaam to have nasi goreng and somtam for lunch at Restaurant Mariam and performed our prayers there. At one of the bank by the Chaam beach we changed some foreign currencies to bahts before we proceeded towards Chumphon.

It was already dark when we arrived at Chumphon beach. We checked in a small resort by the beach for b500/night. After we settled down and shower, we went to the night market and walked along the beach where there were many families having a picnic by the water front.

As there is no Muslim restaurant around the area, we had seafood tomyam and grilled prawns for dinner at one of the restaurants along the beach.
