I traveled from Surat Thani by van, taking about 3 hours with a fare of 170 baht, arriving in Chumphon city at exactly 3 PM. This is a quiet town with a lifestyle that perfectly blends local fishermen and tourists. I stayed in Chumphon city which is very convenient because not only are there various accommodations ranging from 450 to 700 baht, but there are also affordable shuttle services to Koh Tao pier, as I have mentioned in my previous articles.Traveling ChumphonThat's right

But this time I came especially for the fishing and squid catching experience at Chumphon Fishery Pier, which is not far from the city. The pier is a hub for fishermen and tourists who want to experience authentic sea life. The atmosphere at the pier is lively from morning till night. Fishing boats line up, bringing in fresh squid, anchovies, and other sea fish continuously.

Traditional Squid and Fish Catching Methods

I had the chance to talk and join activities with local fishermen. They explained that squid fishing at Chumphon Fishery Pier commonly uses squid or shrimp lures and flashlights to attract squid at night near the pier. I tried squid fishing at night here myself and felt very excited catching fresh squid straight from the sea. Besides squid, I also caught anchovies at the pier, which are small fish but very fresh and delicious.

Chumphon Fishery Pier is not just a fishing spot but also a meeting place for locals and tourists who often sit and share life stories and exchange fresh seafood recipes. I, mr.hotsia, tasted a special dish made from fresh squid prepared by local vendors right there. I must say the flavor was rich and naturally sweet from the sea.
