Thread: Cha Am

There's a very old fishing village just to the south of the Cha Am Regent. I don't think very many tourists make it there because it's off the beaten path, but it's an interesting place to look around. The name of the village is, I think, Baan Sai Yoi. I met a monk there who said that all four of his grandparents were born in the village. Here's a photo of the old wat, now used mostly for repairing fishing nets:

Here's the inside of the monks' living quarters. It was quite beautiful:

Here's the outside:

Here are some cows enjoying a cool, scum covered pond:

Here's the harbor at Cha Am. Always a busy place and so very colorful:

Cheers buadhai - i love these sort of threads.

I like Cha Am too. I always stop there overnight when traveling north or south.
