Khao Pang is a popular paragliding site located along the coastal line, offering both East and West take-off areas. The site is known for its consistent wind flow and thermal conditions, making it ideal for soaring. The ridge extends for 3.5 kilometers, providing ample opportunities for a relaxing flight. The take-off area has limited space, so it is not recommended for beginner pilots to attempt top landing. The landing areas are primarily pineapple, corn, and rice fields to the east, leading to the sea for 20 kilometers. To the west, the landing area is close to Highway No. 4 (Petchakasem Road). To get there by car, travel on Highway No. 4 towards Petchburi, Prachuab. About 19 kilometers before reaching Chumphon, you will see Khao Pang on the left side. You can ask for directions at the PTT gas station, which is also a common meeting point. The journey from Bangkok takes approximately 5 to 6 hours. Alternatively, you can take a bus or train to Chumphon and then a taxi to Khao Pang, which is about 20 kilometers away. The take-off area is about 4 kilometers from the PTT gas station. Khao Pang can be flown all year round except during the rainy season from December to January. The best flying conditions are from February to October, with North-East winds from November to April and South-West winds from May to October. For optimal flying conditions, it is recommended to contact S.E.T. before your trip. The local government is continuously improving the take-off areas on both the east and west sides. The landing areas are on local farmers' fields, and pilots are requested to compensate for any damage caused to the crops. Accommodation options in Chumphon range from budget to mid-range, with prices from 300 to 3,000 Baht. Camping is also available at the landing area, with a small fee for water. Facilities such as restrooms and kitchens are available for use by visitors. A recommended hotel is the Chumphon Grand Palace Hotel, with room rates starting at 385 Baht. For food, you can ask local residents to cook for your group, or you can find meals at the PTT gas station. For dinner, the seafood restaurant Looi at Sai Ree Beach is highly recommended, about a 30-minute drive from the site. There are also many dining options in town. Khao Pang is a public site with no entry fee, but it is advisable to contact the site keeper, T.G.C., or S.E.T. before flying.
