Located along the street by the beach. The hill offers a breathtaking view of the sea and a panoramic view of the city. There is a cafe to relax and shelter from the heat.
Accessible by motorbike but exercise caution when riding downhill, especially with a scooter as you can’t shift down.

We had mopeds which we drove up on. It was a very steep road that made me a bit nervous but it was fine. Make sure your brakes work! The view at the top was impressive and I was glad we went. There’s drinks and ice cream available from a small cafe and some shade at the top.

The view over the sea is cool as well as the view over the town with the river mouth at the bottom of the hill and the countryside with the mountains in the background. The statue on the summit is alright, it’s more about the view. If you go by scooter you also need to push it a little bit up the hill, the road is quite steep...

After being fairly disappointed with the area, we came up to this viewpoint and you can see almost 360 round at the top. It's stunning. Highly reccommend. There's a car April and a cafe and also a small temple. I would go again

Stunning views of Chumphon and surrounding areas, a must visit if you have a few days in this area, best to visit in the afternoon have a coffee and cake from the coffee shop and sit back and watch the sun go down. As someone else who has visited mentioned exceptionally clean toilets.

Starting around 5:00 p.m., it is the best time to start your workout by the challenging climb to the summit of Khao Matsee Viewpoint. Majority of the tourists probably took the easy way by driving to the top. Some went to the mid-level and climb another 158 steps up. Whichever way you choose, Khao Matsee Viewpoint is an attraction tourist should not miss. What is there to see? The whole area of Chumphon from the top, the city, the river and the gulf merging into the sea. A snap shot of the area give the visitor a better understanding of the province of Chumphon.

Overseeing beautiful Chumphon landscape and the marine park. Best to visit during the weekdays as there are fewer people. Peaceful and quiet. Love the viewpoint
