The white sandy Thung Wua Laen Beach is 2 km long and lies 13 km North of Chumphon.
The “beach of the bull running across the field” is also signposted ‘Thung Wualan’. According to the legend the beach was named by hunters who killed a wild bull. This bull was so strong that it freed itself and escaped while it was being skinned. It ran “across the field”.
Beach chairs and jet skis are not allowed on this beach. The priority here lies on environmentally friendly tourist projects where they try to keep a natural balance.
During the week it is very quiet here. The few foreign tourists are mainly kite surfers (from mid-October to January) or divers (from February to April) and there are no “bargirls” at Thung Wua Laen Beach.
It is worth while to visit “Talat nat”, the Sunday market in Saphli. You can find an ATM cash machine here, but be aware that it is often out of money.
