Cha am Hotels on the beach
Cha Am beach in Phetchaburi Thailand, has a long stretch of white sandy beach on the Gulf of Thailand.
Cha am has been popular among Thai families for a long time and now more and more westerners are visiting here..
Unspoiled by mass tourism, Cha am offers the "real Thailand " which has long been lost in many of the more popular Thai beach resorts.
Located just a two hour drive from Bangkok, the town beach can get very crowded at weekends and public holidays, but out of town there are long stretches of empty beach with just a few
Cha Am hotels dotted all along the coast down to the much larger resort town of Hua Hin, just 24km to the south.
During the weekdays, Cha Am turns into a very peaceful town again, as the crowds head back to Bangkok.
Away from the beach there is plenty to do.
There are 6 world class golf courses within a short drive.
You can visit some of the old Royal Palaces, built by many of the King's of Thailand, who have always favoured this area to escape the heat of the city.
If you like Thai temples you can discover plenty in the area.
Trekking and wildlife spotting is also possible with Thailand's largest National Park less than an hours drive away.
Cha Am hotels range from cheap budget guest-houses to 5 star luxury resorts and spa's.
Choose from a hotel along the beach road or head to the quieter beaches to the north or south of town, where you will find many international standard hotels with direct access to the beach.
Travel to Cha Am is easy - from Bangkok there are direct minibuses, buses from both Bangkok and the south and also the odd train stops here.
