Chumphon is known for its delicious southern Thai cuisine, particularly its seafood dishes. A popular dish is Khanom Jeen Nam Ya Pla, which consists of fermented rice noodles served with a spicy fish curry sauce. Another local specialty is Pla Muek Yang, grilled squid often served with spicy dipping sauces. Prices at local eateries for these dishes typically range from 50 to 150 THB ($1.40 to $4.20). For a more upscale dining experience featuring local seafood, expect to pay between 200 and 400 THB ($5.60 to $11.20). Be sure to try these dishes at local markets or small restaurants, where they are prepared with authentic regional flavors.
Exact numbers of foreigners living in Chumphon can vary, as statistics are often updated periodically. However, Chumphon is not one of Thailand's primary expat hubs, like Bangkok or Chiang Mai. The foreign population is relatively small and often consists of retirees, long-term travelers, or those working locally. For the most current figures, checking with local government resources or expat community forums may provide updated insights.
