This is the perfect beach setting for the family to relax, swim, sunbathe and partake in a wide variety of watersports. Cha Am began as a fishing village and retains some of its traditional architecture and charm. It is known to be quieter and more relaxed than some of Thailand’s bustling larger resorts.
