How would that place be for kids, Chazzer?Originally Posted by charleyboy
Slaps,its right on the "bus station soi" (the bar area)so i would probably say no, have a look at where i am now, Nirandorn 3 its very nice and you have choices, units or rooms,its on the beach and has a nice pool also
^I thought the bis station was away from the beach closer to the train station?
How's the holiday going Robbo? Missus enjoying it?
Cheers for that, Rob. I'll take a butchers...Originally Posted by robbo
If we are talking about the bus station at the end of Soi Uglygirliebar , then the word station is overblown. More like bus stop with a few seats. In fact the only buses I saw pull in there were the micro buses passing to and from Bangkok and further south.
This is it :
^that's not what I imagined at all...
^best to drive then, or let the missus drive...
I wanna back pop to Cha-am next time I'm home; less than 2 hours from BangMot. Nice for 2 days during the week...
It's amazing...Most government buses drop you off on the main road but, the government bus with the Cha-am sign drops you off at the bus station!

Good report since Cha am is on my to do list.
I lived in Cha Am for 1 year+. Great little town. Love the spit fired pork on the main street heading to the beach. They had concerts at the beach area, beach service was great.
If you are looking for a very nice private place to stay it is a resort called Cher ( Cher Resort). While pricey to some it is a very nice place with a super nice ambiance. If you look on Agoda or Asago you can find big discounts. I personally liked it there. The pool is awesome. The benches over the ocean are very nice. Bring your own beverages of choice and it can be a very nice night.
Good stuuf.Originally Posted by robbo
Looks good, might try this place as a budget get-away next time I'm in Bangkok
just got back from a restaurant i think was good enough to mention on this thread
Di Dine is in the bus station soi just up from the beach, the owner is a swiss chef and it has the most amazing European menu (thai food available also but is cooked by a Thai guy) i have seen in Thailand, a little expensive but worth every penny
what a top break, stay at Niradorn 3 and walk to Didine, Cha-am's 2 best finds
oh yeah the Wed night market was fantastic, a must do!!!! if not just to watch the old guys clamber for the good seats, hilarious
That was me!Originally Posted by robbo

sad news charleyboy! ha ha
We spent close to a fortnight in Hua Hin and Cha Am last month and were very, very lucky with the weather as it rained only twice in the afternoon . . . lucky indeed.
The hotel we stayed at in Hua Hin for three days was . . . well, let's just say it is of the same quality as the town itself - nothing to write home about as it were.
Cha Am then.
Stayed at the Methavalai Resort ( The Cha-Am Methavalai Hotel, Cha-am Hotels ) and luckily my sister-in-law had the current GM work for her when she was Asst GM at the Shang . . . nice double upgrades . . . added to which my father-in-law stays there three months every year.
Breakfast is very good, a wide variety and fresh.
The resort is just across the road from the beach . . . not worth spending time there -- too many dogs.
The Resort's two pools are quite nice but there isn't much to do aside from that - so we had two cars to drive around in . . . again, not much to do nor see in the area.
Had a much better time in Krabi a few months prior - far more to do and see.
