My favorite place : Cha-am Beach

CHA AM BEACH

Cha am  is a sub district of HuaHin district, Phetchaburi province of Thailand. Cha-Am is located 170 km south from Bangkok (2.5 hours by car) and 25 km north from Hua Hin, the famous seaside resort.

Thai people visiting Cha-Am usually come from Bangkok for the weekend. So the beachfront is very quiet during the week, and gets more animated during the weekends and national holidays. No need to say, Cha-Am is THE place to go if you are travelling with your Thai wife or Thai family. They will love it and they will feel comfortable here, which is not always the case in other popular resorts. Cha-Am is also ideal for western families, as there are a lot of activities for children and no bar scene like in Pattaya or Phuket. Expats and long term tourists in Cha-Am are mostly retirees from Northern Europe
