Cha-am Travel Guide

Go for Pala-U waterfalls with taxi. Make a deal with taxi for a trip to Pala-u (a part of Kaneng Krachan National park). It´s cheap and the place is great rainforest river. There´s is a good restaurant nearby before maybe 5km before entrance. If You´ve rent car You may want to visit Kaeng Krachan National park. It´s biggest National park of Thailand (about 3000 square kilometers). Entrance fee is about 10 dollars / person. We managed to get a guide inside from the camp of forestguardians. Didn´t speak english but guided us few hours in the forest for a money (not much).  

If you are needing to send a parcel home, make good use of the post office in Cha-Am. Located along the beach front. Also, if you walk away from the beach inland, there are some very good quality and cheap places for a 1 or 2 hour maggase. Nuf said!
