The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) and TCC Property Development of Thai Beverage tycoon Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi have agreed to launch a mega tourism project in Phetchaburi.

The 10-year project covering development of 13,335 rai (around 21 square kilometres) of land in Cha-Am district of Phetchaburi will require an investment of around 60 billion baht.

The first phase of the project calls for building of resorts, spas, hotels, a botanical garden and healthcare facilities on 1,366 rai, or around 10 per cent of the land earmarked for development, with an initial investment of 2.4 billion baht, and IEAT and TCC are expected to sign an agreement to that effect within this month.

no reaction to this news yet huh! sounds like a big deal but when is there ever any follow through on these announcements?

Cha-am is cute because it has a sleepy little sea-side resort feeling and a load of Thai day tripper tourists. turning it into another hua hin will undoubtedly ruin it, just like hua hin.

Yes, and I'm already scouting for my new home. Maybe around Pak Chong or Chantaburi?
