[2025 Pathio Attraction] Travel Guide for เนินทรายงามหนึ่งในสยาม(Grand Sand dune) (Updated Jan)

Another beautiful tourist attraction in Chumphon Province, next to Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, is a beautiful sand dune and a beach that is more than 10 kilometers long between Bang Beid Beach and Tham Thong Beach. There is a bridge to view the scenery from the road to the beach. The beach is beautiful, white, fine, and natural, not manicured. The sand dunes are lightweight sand that has been blown and piled up by the monsoon winds for thousands of years before the ice was lifted. It is open to tourists every day with no admission fee. Nearby, there are many other tourist attractions, such as the Royal Development Project, the Civet Coffee, Wat Kaew Prasert, and the Ao Thung Maha Viewpoint.

The Beautiful Sand Dunes are a must-visit when you travel to Chumphon. Located just off the coast of Pathio District, this area is part of Chumphon's pristine coastline. Starting from Thung Wua Laen Beach, the dunes stretch to Tham Thong Beach, Bang Berd Bay, and Thung Sai Bay, connecting to Bang Saphan Noi District in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. Instead of taking the main road south, try this scenic route with many interesting stops, including the Crab Bank, Koh Tieb, Koh Ran Ped Ran Kai, Laem Thaen, and the Beautiful Sand Dunes. Park your car at the entrance and walk up the bridge. A 200-meter walk will lead you to a wide viewing balcony where you can see the bridge extending over the dunes down to the beach below. Along the way, you'll see the gradient sand dunes and fine sand particles on the steps, carried by the wind. It's a unique sight. At the end of the path, you'll find a wide viewing balcony near the beach, where you can walk down to the shore. The vast blue sea and tranquil atmosphere make it a perfect spot for relaxation. The distance is about 1 kilometer, taking approximately 45 minutes to walk. **Recommendation - The best times to visit are in the morning and evening (not recommended from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM as it can be very hot).
