| Hua Hin & Cha - am Info |
| Hua Hin in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province and Cha-am in Phetchaburi are two popular seaside resorts to the south of Bangkok. Despite their locations in different provences , it take about 20 minutes' drive to travel between them. Most Thais often mention them together. Hua Hin is in fact the oldest beach resort of the country and is still as ever. The construction of a railway station here in the reign of King Rama VI (110-1925) and summer palace of King Rama VII in 1926 transformed a quiet fishing village into the resort town popular among those from high society. When Hua Hin was booming, Cha-am was just unknown to the outsiders. But when people of high ranks slught for a new place for relaxation, Cha-am's beauty was discovered and the place was quickly developed. Today Hua Hin and Cha-am are still among Thailand's favourite attractions of tourists. The twin resorts together with their nearby attractions are tintroduced below. |
