Cha-Am

[PeteC]

Is there enough bar, restaurant, accomodation and other interesting activity going on there to devote a mini-section of the forum to it? Pete

Pete,
There probably is but someone there would have to moderate it and supply content as I rarely get up to Cha-am.

Any volunteers?

I will add a section to the forum if we get enough response.

There are lots of restaurants and accomodation of all sorts there, but found the bar scene and other interesting activity harder to find. Only discovered 4 or 5 bars just to the right off the main drag heading from highway towards the beach (a couple of blocks back from the beach). They were pretty quiet during a mid week day this January. Anyone else have some ideas on where to go in the evenings? There are many good seafood restaurants north of town near the fishing port.

Lev,

I have a mate, cyber name of Alf Gandhi (another fellow Hammer) who lives in Cha-Am that posts on a WHU forum that both I and Wanderlust participate on.

He is currently in England . I'll drop him a note and ask him if he'd like to moddy a section on Cha-Am for you.

Bangkokney, cheers mate, would appreciate that.

The only place I know in Cha Am is Paradise Corner at the very northern end of the beach road. We go there on Mondays to play darts. The bar is owned by a Norwegian, Roger and his Thai wife, Pim. Very nice people as are the regulars who go to the bar (not only Normen). The staff is also very friendly, well worth a visit.
