While Pattaya is known as an international beach resort, its counterparts on the opposite side of the Gulf of Thailand. Cha-Am and Hua-Hin, are known for their quiet, sedate and a almost stately atmospheres.

The town's attractions include a lively market, fishing port and endless souvenir shops. Seafood restaurants here are amongst the best in this part of Thailand. There is also a first class golf course, the Royal Hua-Hin a short drive from town.

Following a 1/2 hour drive from Hua Hin we visit a typical Thai fruit plantation that grows bananas, pineapples, mangoes, coconuts, papayas and more.
Some fruits will be prepared for you to taste. From here board a small motor-boat for an hour's leisurely ride down the river. Witness the constantly changing scenery and birdlife and as you approach the entrance to the Gulf pass by the myriad of fishing boats that have returned to Dock after a night of work.
After lunch at a National Park's outdoor kiosk we take a fascinating walk on an elevated platform over a mangrove swamp. Our guide will point out interesting details about the flora and fauna here.
