In the winter season November till January the area of Chumphon got very reliable and steady winds. Exactly here the wind, coming across the Gulf of Siam, is boosted by the mountains along the coast. This situation results in the perfect Kitesurf conditions you find at Tung Wua Laen Beach. Normally 18-25 knots.
