Moving inland from the cooling beach area is the town of Cha-Am. Around half a mile will take you to a more commercial and industrial location with a lot less sand. Most international vacationers might not find much to entice them here but it still worth a visit and say you’ve been there.
Walking all the way in the heat could be too far and it might be a better idea to take some transport. Motorcycle or bi-cycle hire are plentiful around the beach as well as the local form of Taxis, the back seat of a motorcycle so hold on tight. Even if you do not go all the way to town there are a few restaurants, mini markets and a stall market near the beach side.
Once in the town the beach life is left behind and we find a place more suited for Thailanders to work and live. These photographs are from a bridge over the road looking south (above) and north (below). At the time it did feel quit high and the railings a touch too low.
The day was hot and the heat was starting to have it’s effect so we really just had a short look around and decided to head back to a cooler location, the beach.
We never came back to see if the evening had more to offer, it might have became a bustle of activity as the day got cooler. This was a short break and we already had enough for us down nearer the sea front to keep us occupied for a few days.
