Chumphon city is the capital of the coastal province of the same name.

Not too many people outside of Thailand have heard of this fairly large, beautiful city. However, the famous SF author Robert Charles Wilson used this city as a backdrop in one of his novels, The Chronoliths.

Why would a Canadian author want to use a small city as a setting for his novel? The answer is simple, really. This city has a lot to offer, and we here at the New Nordic Group are more than happy to partake in the development of Chumphon.

Where is Chumphon?

Because of its tropical monsoon climate, it’s relatively hot throughout the year. If you plan on going there during October or November, bear in mind that those months see the most rainfall.

According to the 2015 census, Chumphon city has a population of over 35,000 residents. This population number doesn’t make the city huge. However, it’s just big enough to be the perfect tourist location for curious travelers from around the world.

Why buy propery in Chumphon?

As stated, Chumphon is a coastal city. Any potential buyer can use the coast for exports, imports and travel. Thailand is a major trading partner of some of the Pacific Asian heavyweights like Japan, South Korea, China, and the Philippines. Once you open up a good trade route there, you will see an increase in revenue.

However, the city is also perfect for potential tourist programs. Sandy beaches, beautiful clear water, nearby islands, forested areas to the west… These elements alone make Chumphon the perfect destination for eco-tourists, hikers, swimmers, divers and connoisseurs of Asian cultures.

More importantly, Chumphon is also a provincial capital. Once you buy property in it, you can build up the whole province. That way, you will have a lot of ‘development space’ at your disposal. The more you buy in the province, the wealthier the locals become. The New Nordic Group has stated, time and time again, that we enjoy pumping money into local economies and helping them grow. After all, we grow alongside them, so everybody wins.
