Cha-Am and Hua Hin

The exclusive resorts of Cha-Am and Hua Hin are neighbouring towns situated on the Gulf of Thailand, just over 2 hours drive south of Bangkok. A longtime favourite with Thai royalty and Aristocracy since the 1920's, these seaside fishing villages have only recently been discovered by Irish holidaymakers.

If you are in search of a quiet getaway then Cha-Am and Hua Hin are ideal, the tranquil atmosphere and superior facilities provide for a relaxing retreat in upmarket surroundings.

Some of the most beautiful beaches in Thailand are   located here, with clear blue seas and postcard perfect   white sands. Cha-Am, the quieter of the two resorts,   boasts Thailand’s longest white sand beach.

There are plenty of cultural excursions and day trips when   you feel like taking time out from lounging and relaxing.   Discover the ancient shrines and  religious artefacts or   embark on an exciting elephant back jungle trek.


Golfers will love Hua Hin and Cha-Am, with a number of   world-class golf courses these two resort areas provide a good alternative to the bright lights and hectic pace of Pattaya.

The world famous night market at Hua Hin is well worth a visit, it features a large selection of imitation designer goods as well as excellent handicrafts at bargain prices.

Hua Hin and Cha-Am are also perfect for an idyllic honeymoon; enjoy romantic evenings in small beach restaurants, lazy days on perfect beaches and top class facilities in a choice of excellent modern resort hotels.
