Once again, my family departed Bangkok enroute to Phuket; however, I no longer punish myself by driving 11 hours. Chumpon is the halfway point to Phuket, and Jumbo House is a convenient, very inexpensive stopover, part of the PTT Service Station on the east side of the highway. The basics are here: a choice of double bed or two beds, A/C, and internet. Nonetheless, the facilities are quite old; pillows are too small, beds relatively uncomfortable, and other travelers make use of the restroom facilities of PTT. So, there is a lot of vehicle and foot traffic. The 7-11 is reasonably well-stocked, but the KFC shop has permanently closed. There is an adequate supply of Thai food close by and even a burger store.

The hotel/motel is very convenient located right off the main road to Surat and Krabi/Phuket. The only real downside is that the toilets barely flush. We stayed in four different rooms over the last two weeks, and all four toilets had the same problem. There is a public restroom used by motorists at the PTT filling station, and if you need to "go number 2," you'll need to take some toilet paper and go there.

Clean bed in a SAFE environment for an overnight stop over !! Hot shower, good air-conditioning. [[Toilet is old but usable... see photos in GOOGLE MAp reviews]] We were on the ground floor. Very Affordable for one night stopover sleep. (TV, Drinking water bottles [2], toilet paper roll and soap bar in room) The hotel is at the petrol station so our car was in a Safe environment, Bring your own toiletries :)

Hard to find - in the petrol station complex behind shops 7 11 side. No amenities sucas tea coffee but if just stopping to sleep it is ideal. Very basic.

A good choice if you have nothing to do downtown or on the beaches.
