Cha-am’s nightlife

I got an email a few weeks ago from someone (let’s call him Tom) telling me that my page about Cha-am’s nightlife was not quite up to date. I’m used to saying that Cha-am nightlife is a bit tame, and that it’s better to go to Hua Hin to have some fun. But Tom said it was now the contrary, and that there were many people from Hua Hin coming to Cha-am for some action. I was a bit skeptical, but field research is something I take seriously, so I promised Tom I will spend more time in bars and see if I come out with a different point of view.
As it happens, after two years in Cha-am I now have a bunch of friends, and I mean real friends, not just people to hang out with because we’re the same nationality or we get drunk together. We have begun to go out on a regular basis, so I’m already gathering some precious information about nightlife. Only my wife, for some reason, doesn’t seem to understand the importance of my mission! She doesn’t need to worry though: last time I chatted with a young and pretty bargirl, I found out she was a nursery nurse during the day, and we ended up talking about kids. (No, not how to make kids, as my friends insinuated).
Anyway, stay tuned for some fresh news about nightlife in Cha-am, and please feel free to share any tips or updates!
