You may have seen news of devastating floods in southern Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. Hat Yai (approx 480 miles south of here), has experienced it's worst flooding for over 300 years.
We were due to fly to Da Nang in Vietnam for Christmas and New Year. However we're holding back finalising our plans until the weather improves. We hope very soon.
At the moment we are staying at Cha-am, a sleepy beach town located on the Western coast of the Gulf of Thailand. It's about 20km away from the very built up, and western Hua Hin.
There's no big hotels or fancy resorts. It's very much laid back, and convenient seaside destination for Thai locals who come on mass from Bangkok at the weekend (only 2 hours away). The beach is approximately 4km in length and pretty quiet all the time.
We're staying in a lovely little guest house only 1 minute from the beach. It's sunny and hot. So we think at the minute, why move until we need to? The staff are so friendly, we have a wonderful clean, large room. Costing around £17 a night, I'll say it's a lot better than some hotels I've spent £100's on in the past.
So we will consider extending our stay for at least another week while we watch the ongoing weather situation.
In the meantime we can enjoy the good food and sunshine 😀 Our new favourite Roti stand.
