Cha Am Beach, Hua Hin
Cha Am Beach is one of the highlights of
Phetchaburi province on the Western south eastern coast of Thailand
facing the Gulf of Siam. Cha Am beach villas are a luxury accommodation
choice for discerning travelers, and the whole Cha-Am area has a
secluded, exclusive feel, as the town in framed by mountainous jungle,
separating it form Myanmar.
Cha-am is the
premier beach resort in Phetchaburi and Cha-Am villas are some of the
best positioned in the whole of Thailand. Cha-am has long been
predominantly a Thai resort, with the majority of visitors from abroad
choosing to stay at Hua Hin nearby. Cha-Am is quiet on weekdays, busy
on weekends and lively on holidays, all owing to its convenient
location, 175km from Bangkok. Cha Am town runs along side the
white-sand beach, which is reportedly Thailand's longest. The post
office and market are close by the train station, and this represents a
centre of sorts for his very small town.
On the beach there are
deckchairs and umbrellas for rent, and beer, soft drinks and fresh
seafood from local small vendors. For a nominal charge after swimming
in the sea, go to one of the public bathhouses for washing off the sea
water before sitting down I one of the bars or restaurants.
