About Phato Subdistrict
Phato (พะโต๊ะ) is both a district name and the name of this subdistrict in Chumphon. The local authority's profile describes a mountainous landscape adjoining the Phato, Pang Wan and Pak Song forest areas.
Streams such as Khlong Yae, Khlong Rang and Khlong Pak Lek form part of the local water network. Rubber, oil palm, coffee and fruit crops including durian, mangosteen and longkong feature in the agricultural profile.
The council lists Haew Muang Waterfall among local natural destinations. That individual site is distinct from the wider administrative area and the district of the same name. Confirm its precise approach and current local access arrangements when planning a visit.
