Well sorry I didn't post anything this weekend but I was off at the beach. They had an internet connection that was pretty cheap to purchase but I was just hanging out on the beach anyways. Our hotel/resort was right on the beach in Cha Am.It was a hotel that was built around 1970, with some remodeling, but the beach was right there!The hotel had three or four pools but why bother when the beach is right there!

There are so many tourists from all over the world here including a lot of Europeans. I could live here and blend in just fine. The picture this page has for the Grand Palace doesn't do it justice at all. It is so beautiful that pictures cannot capture. There is detail i...
