It took us about 1 hour to reach Ranong from Patong Beach, Phuket. Ranong is a very old town and bordering Burma. We heard that most gemstones were smuggled through this town.
From the Custom Clearance House [pier], we can see Burma just across the river.
The town is not well organised because it is an old town. We changed our plan of putting a night here and drove straight to Chumphorn. Along the way we crossed the Isthmus of Kra and through the narrowest of the Kra Isthmus we drove easterly towards Chumphorn.
Chumphorn is located abouty 8 km off the North South Highway [Highway No 4].
