Cha-Am blog by onlychaam

We are happy to announce that our forum has now reopened! We had to close the old one because of too much spam and too little activity, but the site has grown bigger and more famous since then, so we are confident that we will get the ball rolling. We will even offer something to the first 10 persons who register and post at least one message! We can’t tell you what it will be, but forum members will be kept informed. So, please feel free to join and ask your questions about Cha-am, or start a new discussion, or just come in and say hello! We’re looking forward to seeing you there.

These last few days we went through all the pages of this site and updated many of them. Cha-am is changing fast and we state on the homepage of this site that our goal is to provide free and up-to-date information. It means that we have a reputation to live up to! We also added a search engine, so if you’re looking for any information about a hotel, a restaurant or a particular place in Cha-am, just enter the name in the search box, hit Enter or click Search and your results will be displayed.

We hope you enjoy our website and find it useful. As usual your help is most welcome, so if you notice any mistakes please use the link at the bottom of each page to contact us.

See you in Cha-am!

In order to relieve the traffic jam especially on holidays and long week-ends, a new roundabout was built north of Cha-am main junction.

When coming from Bangkok, you can enter the roundabout on your left just when the road makes a bend to the right before arriving to the traffic lights. Follow the direction of the beach and you can then either turn left on the hospital road and reach the northern side of the beach, or turn right and reach the Family Mart junction (but on busy days, the police will usually prevent you from turning right).

When going back to Bangkok, you now have the option to take the round about and follow the small frontage road until you make a U-turn under the elevated road that goes over the railway. This frontage road has thus become a two-way road, but on busy days they will probably make it one-way.

Anyway, it’s nice to see that Cha-am municipality is doing something to relieve the traffic jam, which is already not too bad, to be honest. I mean even on holidays, you get stuck not much longer than any usual day in Hua Hin!
