Traffic New Cha-am Overpass Spurs Major Highway Upgrade Toward Hua Hin
Pictures courtesy of สำนักงานประชาสัมพันธ์จังหวัดเพชรบุรี The Cha-am bypass has kicked off a travel transformation with the opening of a new overpass at the Huai Ta Paet intersection. This marks a major leap in the expansion of Highway 37, promising to ease travel between Cha-am and Hua Hin. The overpass caters to both northbound traffic towards Bangkok and southbound flows to Hua Hin and Pranburi. This new intersection is part of a broader 50-kilometer infrastructure expansion by the Department of Highways. The project aims to widen the current road from four to six lanes, featuring six interchanges and 17 U-turns. With a hefty price tag of 7 billion baht, the entire construction is set to conclude in 2026. Once completed, Highway 37 will boast three 3.5-metre-wide lanes on each side. A 10.6-metre median will divide the lanes, flanked by concrete barriers, hard shoulders, and strategically placed U-turns. The enhancements promise better safety and smoother traffic. Starting from the Cha-am interchange on Phetkasem Road, the expansion passes landmarks like Huai Taphat, Silpakorn University, and the Hua Hin District Office before linking back with Phetkasem Road in Pranburi. A 50 million baht budget drove the 2023 construction of the Huai Taphat section, including the new overpass, with a total section cost of 250 million baht. Traffic forecasts predict a surge from 29,000 vehicles daily in 2020 to over 53,000 by 2044. The upgraded highway will be pivotal for locals and tourists alike. The addition of interchanges and U-turn points aims to cut down congestion, particularly during peak travel times. In addition to functionality, the project emphasises aesthetics. Landscaping and decorative concrete plans are under way for junctions and underpasses. The full upgrade between Hua Hin and Springfield Golf Course is on track for completion by late 2026. The overpass opening is a significant milestone in an expansive journey towards enhanced travel efficiency, road safety, and visual appeal in the region.

Causes of the exponential increase in Thai obesity?
People will say it is western foods, which I think is nonsense. Many Thai foods are much worse then a McDonald's hamburger. Fat, grease, oil, sugar, carbs, deep fried, little vegetables is the common Thai diet. Add, the phones and games causing laziness. But, it all is a big problem around the world isn't it. -
