More Cha-am Observations

I took the photo shown above as we strolled from the Fishing Pier back towards the beach road in Cha-am. You can click on the photo to enlarge it.

The photo was taken during the early afternoon, and at the time of taking it the sun was blazing down, scorching hot. But we were cooled by a gentle breeze. The weather on the day on which this photo was taken was a perfect example of the typical climate of Cha-am. It’s usually sunny in Cha-am and really rather hot, but due to the gentle sea breeze and the delightfully fresh, clean air it generally feels no more than pleasantly warm there. And the almost constant daily sunshine makes the locality appear upliftingly bright.

The Fishing Pier access road is lined with a profusion of most magnificent sea food restaurants. They are all open-air establishments. I took a couple of photos of one of them for you. The first of these photos is shown below.


The food at restaurants such as the one shown above always looks good, and in my experience is provided at a reasonable price too. Service is attentive, and the ambience of such eateries is usually exemplary. This style of restaurant is very popular with Thai people.

The next photo shows the featured restaurant in a little more detail.


Please note the trays of seafood in the foreground of the picture. They are each filled with water to keep the produce fresh. The larger receptacles to the right of the picture contain extremely fresh food – it’s still alive! Prospective diners can select their repast from a wide variety of sea creatures which are to be found swimming in these larger receptacles. I have noticed that as a human personage gazes into one of these larger receptacles the aquatic inhabitants therein all cower at the back of the receptacle, and the larger ones of them push their smaller, weaker brethren to the front. I don’t know why they do this, but they appear almost human as they do so…..


I took lots of photos during our recent visit to the coast. It’s my plan to show you a few more of them in the next entry on Doodee’s Thailand. I think that you’re going to enjoy them.
