The
premier beach resort of Phetchaburi, Hat Cha-am is just
as beautiful as the neighboring Hua Hin Beach. Located approximately
163 kilometers south of Bangkok, 40 kilometers south of
Phetchaburi and 20 kilometers north of Hua Hin, the beach
is famous for being long and clean. In addition, it serves
excellent fresh seafood. Originally a fishing village, Cha-am
received much attention after the royal palace, Maruekhathaiyawan,
was built near Hua Hin in the reign of King Rama VI. At
that time, the Royal Family and the elite occupied the land
in Hua Hin and its vicinity as a holiday seaside resort.
When people started looking around for twin seaside resort
town for Hua Hin, Cha-ams beauty was discovered and quickly
developed.Today, Cha-am is a popular lively resort town
offering a large variety of accommodations and challenging
activities. Boredom is rare in Cha-am as there are a variety
of water sports that can be enjoyed, while a possible alternative
to water sports is bicycle riding along a 6-kilometer sandy
white beach. During the weekdays the beach is virtually
deserted and there are beach umbrellas and sling chairs
are available for hire.The State Railways of Thailand operates
a special trip to Cha-Am at every holiday. Detailed information
