The provincial capital has a reasonable selection of guesthouses, hostels and hotels located within walking distance of the train station. You’ll also find places to stay on several of the mainland beaches -- see the beaches listing for hints.
A convenient location with clean and comfortable rooms at reasonable rates make Euro Boutique Hotel a top pick in Chumphon town. Standing six storeys tall and painted two shades of blue, the featureless concrete building is set back from busy Kromluang Road, less than a kilometre east of the train station.
