Cha-am is very much a Thai resort. 178 km from Bangkok, it is quiet on weekdays, busier on weekends and bustling on holidays. With no real center, the town stretches along the length of the white-sand beach, said to be Thailand's longest. However, the post office and market are near the train station, and these three landmarks constitute the old center. |

Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai is Thailand's northern capital. Various countries have consulates here, and visitors have an excellent choice of accommodation.

The nightlife here is good and varied, as is the array of international restaurants. |

Hua Hin
Part of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Hua Hin is becoming increasingly popular, although it has all but escaped the gaudy excesses of Pattaya and Patong. The town boasts accommodation to suit all budgets, with a good selection of resorts spread along its white sandy beach. |

Krabi
Krabi has a nice seaside atmosphere with cheap accommodation, tasty Thai/Moslem food and friendly people.
