Exotic places are thought of being full of creepy crawlies, snakes and other things that live in the jungle just waiting to pounce on you.
Cha-Am was quite quiet on that front. We never really experienced any kind of problems with infested rooms or massive amounts of insects trying to eat our food. There were quite an abundance of dogs around the beach. Mostly there were lazing in the shade and just occasionally opening an eye as you walked past. I Guess they were just making sure you were not going to stumble and step on their paw.
Our resort, Baan Pantai, which seemed like a well manicured jungle with it’s abundance of trees and foliage and would be the ideal home for animal life . Most of what we seen added to our enjoyment. The frequent sight of brightly colored tropical birds occasionally passing by. A nest of ants lived near the pool and seemed to be well trained with not bothering the guests and only coming close to clear up any food that may have been accidentally dropped.
Outside our balcony we did have a little bird building a nest in the trees not really caring we were there. Each day the nest grew bigger and more sound but we left before it became occupied. I guess the little chicks will be flying around and maybe building their own nests by now.
The beach and sea was not the best and at this time of the year seemed to have a few jellyfish floating around. They were all small around the size of a small hand and appeared harmless.
There was nothing during the whole holiday to cause us any problems and especially notable was the absence of any flying insects that may have liked to bite us.
