Stage 5 | Chumphon Beach — Langsuan ⚑ 118 km | 73 miles flat to slightly undulating

The nearby ocean is our constant companion. Our eyes can’t get enough of the tropical, green vegetation. We bypass the city of Chumphon toward the south and return to the coast. Here we have the road almost to ourselves. Langsuan town is still located within the province of Chumphon. Many of the buildings are made of wood. The colorful fishing port of Langsuan is nearby and is well worth a visit.
