Cha Am and Hua Hin A very different experience awaits at Cha Am and Hua Hin. These two resorts are dignified and a world away from the frenetic experience that Pattaya has to offer. Both are small enough to wander around without the need for transport. The hotels in each resort are no more than minutes from the beachs with many fronting the beach. In Hua Hin the white sand beach strethes for a miles and as on all Thai beaches umbrellas and loungers are provided for comfort and relaxation. Vendors will tempt you with cool drinks, snacks and traditional Thai massage right on the beach, and there are even pony rides available for the young and youngish. For a grandstand view of Hua Hin and the Gulf of Thailand take a tuk tuk to Hin Lek Fai Hill just outside the city.

Also worth a visit is the Monkey Temple w...
