Route: Nakhon Si Thammarat – Ithmus of Kra - Ranong
Hotel: Wasana Resort, Bang Ben Beach
From Nakhon Si Thammarat we drove to Chumphon and stopped for lunch at Khun Sarai R&R then took the long and winding road to Ranong passing several national parks. We made a brief stop at the Isthmus of Kra for photo shots. For this trip we skipped Ranong and drove to Kapoe, about 25 km from Ranong and look for a place to stay at Bang Ben Beach.

Kapoe is a laid-back district situated in the least populated and mountainous province of Ranong in Southern Thailand. Sitting on the West Coast and overlooking the Andaman Sea, scenic and tranquil. Kapoe has relatively fewer places of interest; however it is blessed with a few waterfalls and a national park called the Laem Son National Park.
Ban Bang Ben is a surprisingly picturesque with scattered settlement of Muslim community. The beach is long and shaded by pine and coconut trees. From Bang Ben Beach pier one can see a scenic view of islands in the sea. This pier is located near the National Park headquarters. From the pier, we could rent a boat for islands hopping day trip to Ko Khang Khao, Ko Hin Pla and Ko Yipon.
