Get Ready for the Ultimate Road Trip! Reviving the Thailand Riviera Coastal Road Project
Road trip lovers, rejoice! Thailand's legendary scenic coastal route, the 'Thailand Riviera', is moving forward. The Ministry of Transport is seeking budget approval for fiscal year 2027 to design the extension from Chumphon down to Songkhla, completing the Gulf of Thailand network.

Extending the Gulf Road Trip from Chumphon to Songkhla
The Thailand Riviera project aims to develop a scenic and convenient coastal drive along the Gulf of Thailand. The route already passes through key destinations like Hua Hin, Pranburi, and Chumphon, and the extension will boost self-drive tourism to the lower south.
This road network promotes secondary coastal towns, offering safe, scenic, and alternative driving routes for domestic and international travelers.
Pranburi: The Perfect Seaside Stopover
The beach road along Pak Nam Pran is a key highlight of the Thailand Riviera, offering a breezy coastal drive close to attractions like the Mangrove Forest Park and Khao Kalok.
For long southern road trips, Pranburi is the ideal place to stop, relax, and recharge before driving further.
