Sorry about the mistake in the titel *expansion*

Is Chumphon a city in expansion? I ask because I have my eye on some business but I need to know more about possible tourism increase in the next 2 years. I hear they are building an airport?

There is already an airport in Chumphon; it's actually in Pathiu about 30 km north that serves the city. Chumphon is well poised for a massive expansion if people stop investing in gold and instead dive into the coconut futures market; otherwise I think it's less than expanding. The steel mills in Bang Saphan will probably not expand and probably no power plants coming.

Definately modernising at a rate of knots. Dunno about expanding though.

I'll be happy if it modernizes / expands as I've just taken a 2 year lease on a house there so the kids can attend school in the area.

true, many people took a good bath, speculating on the air port location. It has become more user friendly over the last decade but it still remains moistly a kick off point to koa toa. the town itslef has a good infrastructure and as an other posted has a decent school system for thais. imho 24 mo. with an outlook to see it a tourist destination is wishful thinking.
