Cha-am is a beach district in southern Phetchaburi province, just north of Hua Hin, known for a simpler seaside atmosphere, weekend visitors from Bangkok, beach food, and family-friendly hotels. It is generally quieter and cheaper than Hua Hin while still being close to royal palace and coastal sights.
Visit Cha-am for a lower-key beach break near Bangkok with easy seafood, long beach walks, and cheaper stays than bigger resort towns.
