Hua-Hin

The resort town of Hua-Hin was about 30 minutes away from where we were staying. We spent a day checking out the sites and beach there.

Cha-am

Cha-am is a small town that attracts a lot of Thais on the weekend due to its close location to Bangkok. We spent about half of our vacation based out of here and really enjoyed the area and found it much nicer than the more popular Hua Hin 30 minutes away. Here are some photos of the town and our lovely hotel.

Phetaburi

Doc and I visited Thailand at the beginning of the month. We spent about half of our time in a place called Cha-am, which is about two hours south of Bangkok and then the rest of the time we were in Bangkok. We went on quite a few excursions during our week-long vacation and took tons of photos. Here are a few photos from our first day-trip. This was to a town called Phetaburi, about 30 minutes north of Cha-am.

We first visited Phra Nakhon Khiri, a former royal palace located on a hill.




This is where the king would disembark from the elephant!

We visited the amazing Tham Khau Luang cave.









We then visited Wat Mahathat Worrawihan.





Our next stop was a walk through the market in Phetaburi.



And we ended with a delicious lunch!
