👍👍 The people of Cha-Am were amazing. We had a private back country off road tour. They provided bottles of water. And our guide didn’t hesitate to put on my friends GoPro. Definitely recommend. We couldn’t find a grab back because its a little far out but they drove us home for a fee which was great!

👍👍 ***Suan Son Beach Very nice beach, sandy beach, very clean, With plenty of shady spots... you can enjoy panoramic views of the islands of Ko Tao and Ko Chingtu. But the public beach belongs to the army! There are enough beautiful trees

😠 This place is very run down, old & dirty. Some of the animals looked okay but lots of them did not look well or well kept & I really felt sorry for them. They also nearly all seemed extremely hungry. The two baskets of food (= entrance fee) were gone in 5 minutes flat. We saw a rabbit with new born...

👍👍 I love this place, great for family who have a children. A little far from a main road but good for animal. There are a lot of deer., elephant, monkey, birds. You can buy fruit to feed animals.. Great place to walk.

👍👍 Gorgeous temple, photographers will like going there in the morning as the entrance of the main building faces East.

Serene Buddhist wat featuring gilded Buddha statues & sweeping views of the town & sea.

👍👍 Wonderful variety of food stalls here. Unlike the Cicada Night Market next door, this specialises in just food. For myself, I particularly loved the barbecued meats. Lots of Tables and a Stage where live music is performed. You pay cash at the food stalls rather than Food Card used in Cicada.
