Cha Am is a sleepy little resort town on the sunrise coast on the Gulf of Thailand. Celebrated for years by royalty as a unique get-away spot, Cha Am has come into its own as a resort town to be enjoyed by all as the Thai people flock to Cha Am hotels to get away from the difficulties of modern life and relax.
There are five resorts that really stand out and are worth the Cha Am Experience. For the best Cha Am hotels, read on.
The Grand Pacific Sovereign Resort and Spa is a grand title for this palatial five star resort in Cha Am. Overlooking the sparkling blue waters of the Gulf of Siam, with a beautiful beach setting, this elegant hotel is simply the best. From the grand seating in the wood paneled restaurant to the casual outdoor Pool Bar, there is something to suit every mood and taste.

For those of us who have wanted to stay in a luxurious private pool villa but were put off by the cost, I gave good news for you. Yaiya Resort in Cha Am, near Hua Hin will be having a soft opening from December 20th.
If you are not familiar with the hotel industry jargon, a soft opening is when a hotel accepts guests for a few weeks before the official Grand Opening. This is done with little or no advertising so soft openings are sometimes difficult to catch. The purpose of a soft opening is a chance for the management and staff to get used to the day to day running of the hotel or resort before the full onslaught of a hotel full of guests hits them.
Since there is a possibility of a few small snafus during the first few weeks of an opening, hotels often offer rooms for less than the standard room rate. An example is you may find your self waiting a little longer for room service. On the other hand, you will probably have the place pretty much to your self and hotels are usually overstaffed during these times, so you will probably only need to snap your fingers and someone will come running. Imagine having the pool practically to your self!
Yaiya Resort offers some beautiful private pool villas and you could probably snap them up at a great bargain during the soft opening.
Over the next month I will be introducing a relatively unknown area of Thailand that is not overwhelmed by the tourist trade. While being only 2 hours from Bangkok, it offers a lovely long beach and some very beautiful resorts including some increasingly popular Pool villas.
The area I am talking about is Cha Am, not far from Hua Hin, which has a higher profile.
As most tourists who are heading down to this area of Thailand make a beeline for Hua Hin, you can enjoy a truly quiet and peaceful beach holiday here. If exciting nightlife is what you are after, you may like to look at another area, perhaps Phuket or Pattaya. But if want to relax on the beach or by the pool without the hassles and bustle of a typical beach resort town, Cha Am may be what you are looking for.
I will be introducing and reviewing a number of Cha Am hotels, starting with the truly unique Aleenta Resort & Spa and the Veranda Resort and Spa with some of the stunning above mentioned private pool villas.
