The new initiatives are meant to increase income and tourism countrywide.  With unrivaled beaches and an abundance of historical temples, the seaside town of Cha-Am provides a truly authentic Thai experience. The city’s combination of modern luxury and old world charm make it a perfect destination for expatriates and locals alike. Cha-Am’s fifth term Mayor, Mr. Nukul Pornsomboon-Siri, wants to improve upon his already impressive city.  The Mayor recently discussed his new plans for development and tourism in Cha-Am, which focuses on improved infrastructure, increased recreational areas, and improved public safety.

The first project is a new city water manufacturing plant.  The plant, which is meant to mitigate the recent water shortages in the south of the district, will be constructed in the Ruam Jai Pattena community.  In addition, underground electrical wiring will be provided for the city’s main beach road.  The wiring will help improve upon the city’s already gorgeous beach and ocean views.

The projects don’t stop there.  Tung Takad Plee is soon going to be the home of a brand new recreational park.  The park will encompass 226 Rai of land, and is going to feature a scenic waterfall.  The final project, aimed to improve public safety, will be the installation of CCTV’s throughout the city.

Of course, these major improvements will come at no small expense.  But with the support of the Department of Tourism, the local municipality doesn’t seem too worried.  It’s an expense the Mayor deems as necessary to ensure the continuance of the high quality of life currently enjoyed by both locals and tourists.  And what better time is there to celebrate a new and improved city than during the Thai New Year?

The quickly approaching Song Kran Festival – also known as the Thai New Year, takes place on April 13^th, 2013.   Festivities are planned to commence at 7:30 in the morning with a bathing ceremony and food offerings for the Buddha statue.  The celebration continues with the Song Kran Parade beginning at 11 AM.  Starting at the Long Beach Hotel, the parade then continues down the Cha-Am beach road and Ruamchit Road, ending at the Cha-Am Municipality.  The celebration continues through the evening, featuring well known musical performers.

Be prepared to get wet!  A deep rooted tradition of the holiday, you are guaranteed to get splashed with water as a symbol of good luck.  With temperatures soaring, we’re sure you won’t mind getting a little wet and wild.

With the recently planned city projects and the up and coming Song Kran Festival, the Mayor is hoping to promote tourism, increase income, and improve the overall quality of life for locals.  But as usual, public safety is the city’s number one priority.  The Mayor urges anyone in need of help while in Cha-Am to call the local municipality.  Cha-Am Municipality can be contacted at: Tel. 032 471 124 or HOT LINE 1132.

Cha-Am is located just 25 km north of Hua Hin, and 170 km to the south of Bangkok.  It is known for its pristine 5 km long beach and laidback atmosphere.  Tourists and expatriates have come to appreciate the authentic Thai experience provided by the city’s rich history and culture.  In fact, a large majority of visitors to Cha-Am are Thai tourists.  The district boasts tree-lined beaches, vibrant markets, stunning scenery, and friendly locals.  It is the perfect tropical destination.  But as with all old cities, it is need of some minor improvements.

The Department of Tourism and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) have been working with private sectors to select the 29 most popular tourist attractions in Thailand.  The 29 selected destinations will receive funding to improve infrastructure and other projects as needed. The pristine beaches of Cha-Am have been chosen as one such attraction.  Officers from the Department of Tourism have been working with the local municipality to select projects that will most greatly benefit the beachfront city.

So far, the following projects are being considered; moving all electrical wiring underground, physical improvements to the Cha-Am beaches and lookout points, development of wastewater management, setting up tourist information centers, electronic signs to promote tourism, road improvements at the entrance of the Khao Nang Panturat National Park, adding CCTVs in all tourist locations, purchasing firefighting cars and rescue cars, adding additional ambulance service, and placing buoys, additional lights and warning towers along the beach.

Cha-Am’s Mayor, Mr. Nukul Pornsomboon-Siri, already revealed some of the above mentioned plans that are to be implemented in 2013.  A new city water manufacturing plant is going to be constructed, with the goal of alleviating water shortages in the southern part of the district.  Underground electrical wiring will be installed along the main road to improve upon the already gorgeous beach views.  To ensure public safety, CCTVs will be installed citywide.  The final project announced will be the construction of a recreational park and waterfall.  The park is planned to encompass over 220 Rai of land.

These tourism projects are sure to call for some heavy funding.  But the government of Thailand sees the initiatives as a worthy investment, with hopes of doubling the tourism economy by 2015.  With some minor improvements and updating, the city of Cha-Am is sure to remain a top destination in Thailand.

On November 18^th, 2012, Berjaya Air commenced service between Hua Hin and Kuala Lumpur, making it the first international carrier to service the seaside city.  Berjaya will fly its 72 seat, ATR 72-500 to Hua Hin several times a week.  The airline has chosen the city as its first Thai destination, beating out other major and well known cities such as Bangkok, Koh Samui, Phuket and Chiang Mai.

With mile-long beaches, an exciting nightlife, and luxury amenities, Hua Hin was a top runner from the beginning.  But what made the city stand out from the rest of its competitors?  The answer is golf.  Hua Hin is home to several internationally recognized golf clubs including; Banyan Golf Club, Springfield, and Black Mountain.  These courses, along with numerous other clubs in the area, are a huge draw for the airline’s Malaysian clientele and the international community at large.

With so many reasons to visit, there is no question that Hua Hin appeals to the international community.  Berjaya Air is on the right track, and the city of Hua Hin is hoping that other airlines take notice.  One thing is certain, this gem of a city is ready for the international recognition that it deserves.

Cha-Am Chosen as 1 of 29 Cities for Tourism Investment Projects

Up until now, the city of Cha-Am has often been cast in the shadow of its larger seaside counterpart Hua Hin, located just 25 kilometers to the South.  That, however, is about to change.  The government of Thailand has recently chosen Cha-Am as 1 of 29 tourist areas to receive government funding for development projects.  The project’s goal is to boost the country’s already burgeoning tourist economy

Officers from the Department of Tourism have been working with the local municipality to select projects that will most greatly benefit the beachfront city.  Project ideas for the next several years have ranged from road improvements to tourist information centers.  Cha-Am’s Mayor has recently revealed certain initiatives that are to be implemented in 2013 including; underground electrical wiring, CCTV’s, a water plant and the addition of a recreational park.

These tourism projects are sure to call for some heavy funding.  But the government of Thailand sees the initiatives as a worthy investment, with hopes of doubling the tourism economy by 2015.  With some minor improvements and updating, the city of Cha-Am is sure to remain a top destination in Thailand.

Sansiri Builds New Complex in Cha-Am

Baam Thew Lom will comprise of 808 units, encompassing four blocks of eight storey residential buildings.  The complex will be surrounded by lush, tropical gardens.  Units will be available with two bedrooms, three bedrooms or in studio style.  Amenities are to include a swimming pool, children’s pool and Jacuzzi.  You will enjoy full use of the fully-equipped fitness room and jogging tracks.  Closed-circuit television and 24 hour security is provided.

Mayor Announces Four New Projects in Cha-Am

Cha-Am’s fifth term Mayor, Mr. Nukul Pornsomboon-Siri, recently revealed plans for four new citywide projects.  The new initiatives are meant to increase income and tourism throughout Thailand.  The Mayor discussed his plans for development and improvement throughout the city, which focuses on better infrastructure, increased recreational areas, and improved public safety.

To mitigate the recent water shortages in the south of the district, a new city water manufacturing plant is underway.  The water plant will be built in the Ruam Jai Pattena community.  Underground electrical wiring will be provided for the main beach road, with the goal of improving upon the city’s already gorgeous views.  For safety reasons, CCTV’s will be installed citywide.  The final plan revealed by the Mayor is the construction of a large recreational park and waterfall, which will encompass over 200 Rai of land.

Mr. Pornsomboon-Siri also talked about the up and coming Song Kran Festival.  The festival marks the beginning of the solar New Year, and is a deep rooted tradition in Cha-Am.   Thankfully, this April, Cha-Am will be celebrating more than just a new year.  It will be celebrating a new and improved city!

The Malaysian airline has chosen Hua Hin as its first Thai destination, beating out other major and well known cities such as Bangkok, Koh Samui, Phuket and Chiang Mai.  So why Hua Hin, and why now?  Berjaya believes that the city has marketing potential similar to other destinations it currently services including; Redang, Langkawi, Pangkor and Tioman. The airline will fly its 72 seat, ATR 72-500 to Hua Hin three times per week.  A move that could have positive financial implications for the future of the city.

So what exactly is this “marketing potential” that caused Berjaya Air to choose Hua Hin over its major competitors?  Three things to mention – golf, golf, and more golf.  Hua Hin is home to several internationally recognized golf clubs including; Banyan Golf Club, Springfield, and Black Mountain.  Best of all, the tropical climate permits a year-round golf season, providing a players’ paradise for the avid golfer!  These courses, along with the numerous other clubs in the area, are a huge draw for the airline’s Malaysian clientele and the international community at large.

But world-class golf courses are just the beginning of Hua Hin’s allure.  The wide variety of activities, amenities and events makes this the perfect destination for all ages.  Enjoy your days horseback riding, wine tasting or sunbathing along the miles of pristine, sandy beach.  Spend your evenings dining at one of the first-class local or international restaurants.  Take a stroll to the famous night markets, or finish your night partying at one of the many pubs and nightclubs in town.  For those adventurers, take time to explore the numerous parks, caves and waterfalls surrounding the area.

With so many reasons to visit, there is no question that Hua Hin appeals to the international community.  Berjaya Air is on the right track.  The real question now is, will other airlines take notice and follow suit?  As an ideal destination for families and golfers alike, one can only hope.  One thing is for sure, this coastal gem of a city is ready for the international recognition that it deserves.

Inspired by the role of horses in the local culture, Sansiri has designed a truly luxurious development that reflects the elegance and beauty of these magnificent creatures.  The architecture represents the strength and shape of the horse, while the neutral tones embody the animal’s natural colors.  The complex’s landscaping and amenities will bring in elements inspired by the racetrack.

The award winning company plans to build 808 flawless units, to be set in eight storey residential buildings encompassing a total of four blocks.  Studio apartments will comprise of 29.7 square meters of living space.  Two bedroom apartments (60.5 sq. m) and three bedroom apartments (103.8 square meters) will also be for sale.

Spend your days sunbathing by the 50 x 25 meter swimming pool and Jacuzzi while your kids splash away in the children’s pool.  Exercise in the fully equipped fitness room or around the extensive jogging tracks.  During those hot summer months, spend your days cooling off in the lush communal gardens.  Closed-circuit television and 24 hour security is provided.

Baam Thew Lom will be more than just a set of buildings, it will be an all-inclusive experience.  Sansiri offers a variety of services and packages to allow you to enjoy a truly luxurious lifestyle.  With the Family Privilege package, all members of your family will be offered exclusive discounts and privileges from a variety of Sansiri’s business partners.  Have ease of mind with Sansiri’s Homecare service, which provides regular checkups and home maintenance.   Looking to rent or sell your home, condominium, or townhouse?  Realty advice will always be right around the corner with Sansiri’s Family Plus service.

Sansiri’s new project will be the first of its kind in Cha-Am.  But what does this mean for the small, beachfront city?  The impact of Baam Thew Lom is still to be seen, but we do know that other big-players have taken notice of Sansiri’s investment, and are looking to catch their own piece of the action.  This could have major, positive implications for the future real estate market of Cha-Am.  And of course, more investments mean more tourism.  It’s safe to say that Sansiri has really hit it out of the park with Baam Thew Lom.  For more information please visit: http://www.sansiri.com/condominium/baanteawlom_chaam/en/

Created in 1981, the park now covers over 2900 square kilometres of lush, species rich rainforest.

At present, 57 mammal and over 400 bird species are known to inhabit the park as well as a diverse selection of reptiles and amphibians.

Kaeng Krachan has been listed as an ASEAN Heritage Park and is frequented by Thai and international tourists, and scientists from across Asia and the rest of the world.

Things To Do:

The park has two main rivers – the Phetchaburi and Pranburi rivers. Both of these rivers flow year round and waterfalls such as  Namtok-Pa-La-U and the Thor Thip are very popular attractions.

Tigers, leopards, deer, gibbons, gaur, bantang and wild pigs live within Kaeng Krachan, alongside an estimated population of 200 wild elephants.

Despite until recently being considered as extinct in the wild in Thailand, a small number of Siamese crocodiles are now known to also reside in the waterways of Kaeng Krachan. The park is a special area of interest to those studying other reptiles and amphibians.

For those interested in bird life, Kaeng Krachan offers a real treat. As mentioned above the park boasts over 400 species. Highlights include the Wreathed Hornbill, Giant Pitta, Asian Fairy Bluebird and Crested Goshawk. thaibirding.com has information on how to find birds and facilities available to tourists.

Trekking is also popular in this national park, despite most paths being recently closed to independent trekkers. However, many still choose to go it alone, but for those who are less keen to brave the elements and fauna without a guide, tours are also available with many companies in Bangkok, Hua Hin and other nearby tourist resorts. As mentioned in previous articles, it is often best to book locally rather than via the internet. Competition is so fierce that you may be able to bargain with tour firms, especially in the less busy seasons.

Boat trips and water-sports are available on the Kaeng Krachan reservoir, which also has a small beach and restaurant facilities.

If you are not part of an organized tour, be aware that it is advisable to have your own transport. The park itself is extremely large and to really experience all that it has to offer, you will need to be able to get around easily and spend more than just a day or two.

Where To Stay:

For those wishing to stay within the park, three different campsites exist and charge around 30 Baht per night if you bring your own gear or you can rent a tent for between 100-300 Baht. If you wish for more comfort, there are a selection of bungalows available for between 1200 and 3000 Baht per night. Check availability before turning up because demand is great, and Kang Krachan has become a far more popular tourist attraction in recent years.

How To Get There:

Transport to the park is available form all major tourist centres and there is usually no need to book ahead. Just arrange it with a local travel agent when you are on the ground in Thailand. As with accommodation, be careful at busy times of the year due to increased demand. Public transport is not available to the park itself, but taxis are widely available and very reasonably priced, or you can take a Song Taew from Phetchaburi to Kaeng Krachan village, and then take a motorcycle taxi to the park.

Seasons:

Between the months of November and March the weather is somewhat cooler, so this is possibly the best time to go, but if you don’t mind the heat and humidity, some great deals can be found at other times of the year.
