Cha-Am Beach — Attraction in Phetchaburi Province

After all these years in Thailand I had never visited Hua Hin and have not been to Cha-Am since 2001. So we checked out both. This about Cha-Am Beach so let me stay focused. The stretch of beach is quite nice and serviced by a seafront beach road with numerous hotels, restaurants and little shopping nooks and crannies here and there.

My friend mentioned that he had eaten at this restaurant two years ago and that it was amazing. The seafood was fresh and truly delicious. Before heading back to the hotel, we took another walk along the beach to watch the sunset, which was a truly...

Tourist looking for unique experience can skip this place. Nothing much on weekdays. A long stretch with a few bars and food places. More of accommodations. Many locals here.

The only highlight is you can buy and put fireworks in the sky by the beach. The peddler is around the beach on this landmark. But prices is more ex than Hua Hin Night Market

Massage range from 250-300 baht

If u Walk up towards the 7 eleven (facing the sea, right direction) the next 1km are more sum deck chairs n food trucks. And we will reach

The next point, which is the photo icon of cha am beach on the map for photo with iconic seafood status. There are more accommodations and seafood food truck for about 200m and that's about it.

No proper walk path, not suitable for family with young kids as you have to walk on the road, dangerous as vehicles are zooming by or maybe you can...
