Felt 35 Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I have an opportunity to buy land in Cha am. Is there anyone "out there" living in an area near Khao Gralok and Evason Resort who can give some information about the area.

Felt 35 Posted January 12, 2004 Author Share Posted January 12, 2004 Okay then: Where is Pranburi? I personally have never been to Cha am or Hua Hin and have so far no precise address. But to make the question easier: Is there anyone who can tell me how it is to live in Hua Hin/Cha am compare to Phuket. Is it touristy,how is the traffic,population etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetyim Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Hua Hin and Cha am are both touristy. HH tends to have more falangs, CA tends to be busy at weekends with thai tourists from Bangers. You must go and look for yourself, it is no good asking us if you will like living there. Avoid the Chinese new year later this month, CA will be packed out.

NedKelly Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 the area around the Evason resort is very quiet. Well at least it was when I was there a year or so ago. You could walk out of the Evason onto the beach and then along the beach about 100 metres and there was nothing but cocnut palm trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geroreilly Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Hua Hin has got to be one of my favourite places to visit for a weekend break outta Bangkok. Its only 2 or 3 hours drive (depending on how crazy you drive) and is not AT ALL like other well known tourist traps like Pattaya, Samui, Phuket, Phi Phi etc etc. It is much more quiet, relaxed and peaceful. True, there are farangs there and depending on the time of the year there may even be quite a few of them in peak season. However, it is still definitely a THAI resort town. I liken it to the small southern Spanish fishing towns - small, windey streets, old architecture etc... The beach isnt brilliant but its OK.... watch out for the horse crap. I have only ever drive thru Cha-am and have never stayed there so Im not too sure on that one. Definitely, if you are thinking of buying you should check it all out for yourself. If you want you can check out my own website (only there for personal use) as I have quite a few photos of Hua Hin in there...... you will have to put up with photos of my girlfriend and family though!!!
