Cha-Am Beach

This straight sea pine-lined beach lies 40 km. south of Phetchaburi or 20 km. north of Hua Hin, with which it is often paired as a traditional seaside destination favoured by the Thai upper class. Cha-am was originally a fishing village. After King Rama VI had Maruekhathaiyawan Palace built, the area was taken up by the Royal Family and the elite for beachside sojourns. Today, it is very popular among Thais who love superb seafood and comfortable hotel or bungalow accommodation.
