Cha Am and Hua Hin, Thailand

This past weekend we visited Southern central Thailand.  The first weekend was spent in Cha Am and Hua Hin.  We were pleasantly surprised with how much both cities had to offer.  Our first stop was Cha Am, where we were very surprised to find a large amount of foreign couples.  The majority being older couples mostly from Europe.  There were a few younger couples, but not many.  We spent only one relaxing night there; As it was only an hour and a half south of Ratchaburi, it was a nice way to break up the trip to Hua Hin.  With an array of foreign dinner choices, we sampled the best Indian and Italian foods in Thailand so far.  We spent most of the time laying on the beach and enjoying the amazing weather, while working on our tans.  Both nights we went to local bars, where each night a band performed.  This consisted of the usual American pop music with Thai girls dancing on bars.  We also had a couple cocktails at SkyBar, located on the roof of the Hilton, with an amazing view.  One night was eventful as we met a guy from England who is pedaling the world to raise money for Save the Children.  His plan is to pedal the entire world on his bicycle, without using an airplane around the whole world.  He just began his journey and we are now fans of his blog to keep up to date on his travels.  We had a great time just relaxing on the beach and enjoying the amazing weather.
