Hua Hin in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province and Cha-am in Petchaburi are two popular seaside resorts to the south of Bangkok. Despite their locations in two different provinces, it takes about 20 minutes drive to travel between them.

Hua Hin is in fact the oldest beach resort of the country and is still as popular as ever. The construction of a railway station here in the reign of King Rama VI (1910-1925) and a summer palace of King Rama VII in 1926 transformed a quiet fishing village into the resort town popular among those from high society. When Hua Hin is booming, Cha-am was just unknown to the outsiders. But when people of high ranks sought for a new place for relaxation, Cha-am's beauty was discovered and the place was quickly developed. Today Hua Hin and Cha-am are still among Thailand's favorite attractions of tourists.
