New places in and around Cha-am
Saturday, February 13th, 2010A new pizzeria has opened in town, and they truly make the most delicious pizzas I have ever tasted in Cha-am. It’s called Happy Pizza and it’s located just a block away from the well known Okay supermarket. The boss is Italian (he also speaks English and French), and he is very friendly.
A few other places in Cha-am have opened recently. Let’s mention Udomagg, a shop on the beachfront which sells shoes and bags for a reasonable price, and CJ Express, a food shop on the fresh market’s place (at the corner of Lotus Express). I also tried a new restaurant pompously called “Mountain View Resort“. It’s on Phetkasem road, on the left when coming from Bangkok, just before the junction between the road going to Cha-am and Hua Hin and the bypass going to Pranburi. The food was good but apart from that it was your typical Thai restaurant: staff poorly trained, 3 items ordered but got only 2, and so on. I only mention it because of the location (convenient for the people leaving in Hup Kapong).
It is also rumoured that a new Big C will open on the north side of Hua Hin, opposite the Sheraton hotel area. There is a huge building site there, but some people also say that it will be a factory outlet.
Last but not least, some real good news. After Pattaya, Samui and Phuket, Bangkok Hospital is going to open a new branch in Hua Hin. The new hospital will be near soi 94, that is a few hundred meters south of Hua Hin Market Village. Construction has already started, and it should be finished within a year or so. It is great news for all people living in Cha-am and Hua Hin, as it will be the first high standard hospital in the area.
