Chumpon
Chumpon province is where the southern region of Thailand begins. There aren't many sights to see in the province itself, but he islands off the coast offer some of the best diving in the world. Most people simply pass through the province on the way to Koh Tao, but there are more and more hotels and resorts opening on the mainland.

The water is remarkably clear and the marine life spectacular, with seasonal visits from such rare species as whale sharks and giant mantas. The island itself is one of the most beautiful in the Samui archipelago.
