Images Of Hua-hin And Cha-am

[cdnvic]

I'll rotate these images every month or two, putting about 3 max up each time. If you're reading this before visiting Thailand we hope it will help introduce you to the regions of this country.

If you have photos please add them to our gallery.

A shot of the main city of Hua-Hin, and it's long white beach. The towers of Cha-am can be seen faintly in the background.

Hi Vic,

Exactly where is the beach "Several Kms south of Hua Hin". Directions please.

[cdnvic]

I'm not 100% certain if I can remember but its got a small resort and a government hotel/conference centre there.

Go south on Highway 4 over the railway bridge. Straight on about 8-9 kms and turn left at the PTT petrol station (located on the left). This is a military access road (dual carriageway) Stop at the checkpoint and pay 20 baht (was 10 baht 2 months ago) for the car entry. Straight on, over the railway track to Tee junction. If you turn left you reach a car parking area and access to the beach with some Thai restaurants and facilities (showers/toilets). This area is very busya t weekends. If you turn right drive ahead past the military hotel about 300 m then follow the road to the right. as you make that turn, there is a small car park on the right with access to the quiet beach but no facilities. Good time to go is after 1 pm when the sun is over the trees heading west which puts the beach in the sun and the treee lined area in the shade (sun behind you). Good gently sloping beach ideal for kids.

I will try and load a picture.

The second picture was taken from the Khao Takiab. Most likely you are referring to the same name beach.

Hi cdnvic - any chance of some photos, I'm getting a bit bored of the wallpaper now!!! Any more photos of Hua Hin on this site - I couldn't find any in the gallery?

Thanks for providing this service!

Now people can see where you were standing while taking the photo:

What a hel_l of a fiercefull sport Thai boxing is. Must be the spectators box among themselves too, hope they all survived:

Cha Am beach: you won't need much of a sunscreen but you would need reading lights under the umbrellas:

I've never been there, but it looks very similar to Pattaya/Jomtien going by the photos.

Are there any large shopping centres there?

[Merovingian]

Taken from the Hyatt in Hua Hin last month. Great place but high priced.

[Daisy75]

Some great photos. How is the water there?

Cha-Am National Park (at least I think that's what they call it - I'm new around here so apologies for any location mistakes)

[Kan Win]

Opps .............

[Kan Win]

Hi "The Vulcan",

Looks like Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park

which starts outside of "Pranburi" (next town from Hua-Hin) going south all the way down the coast to "Prachuap Khiri Khan".

Hope this helps you.

We walked up and into the cave last time in Hua Hin, what a magical place. Getting there was a slog, very steep and rocks were slippery as well, the view is amazing from the high spot before you level out and go down into the cave. We just got there after 11am and missed the sun shining through the gap and hitting the small temple.

The boat trip in was great and the beach and restaurant/cafe had great food especially the Singha beer after we walked out.
