We often find ourselves perplexed by the ubiquitous presence of narratives in our daily lives. The absence of readily available stories compels us to actively seek them out, driven by an innate desire to understand and connect with the world around us.



Upon returning from my trip, I have a story to share.



Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in an off-site company event. The company brought approximately 500 employees to The Regent Cha Am Beach Resort, a renowned and expansive hotel.



The Regent Cha am beach resort is a hotel that has been a legend alongside Cha Am beach for almost 40 years. This alone makes it an interesting place to stay.



The Regent Cha am beach resort was one of the first brands to enter the hotel business in this area. Although the Regent Cha am hotel has been open to tourists for a long time, the condition of the building looks like it was only built a few years ago. Of course, they have been renovating it all the time. From the hotel map, you can see that it is very, very wide. With this size, it can accommodate groups of 500 people very well. However, it needs to be adjusted a little bit.



The event began with a buffet lunch for 500 attendees, held in a large conference room. The organizers anticipated using this room throughout the event for afternoon, evening, and breakfast activities. However, this proved to be a miscalculation.

The afternoon activity was held at the Lakeside Pavilion, which was spacious and well-ventilated. Large fans were installed to keep the participants cool and comfortable, allowing them to move around freely during the activities.

And then it was time to relax. In the evening before the evening activities, the beach and the sky were a must when coming to the sea.



Where there is a sandy beach, there must be a way down.

One way or another, just ask.



Wherever you go, bring your mouth with you, and you will never get lost.



Explore the accommodation by car.

Embrace the lush greenery.

and extensiveness



However, I would not be interested in taking a walk at night.



Let's take a look at the guest rooms. I stayed in the Main Wing.



The lobby is spacious, airy, and boasts a pleasant atmosphere. It is so comfortable that one might consider skipping their room and sleeping on the expansive sofas, which are as large as beds. The lobby also features a small bar, Breez Bar, which remains open until the evening, offering refreshments to guests.



Exiting through the lobby, you will encounter a heart-shaped swimming pool with stunning ocean views, perfect for relaxation.



At the end of the path, there is a beachfront restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere, perfect for ordering a drink and relaxing.



And the restaurant manager



He has a fierce look.



The room is a 2-bed room located in the Main Wing of Building 1.



No sea view, but a lush green garden view instead. Spacious and clean.



The room is fully equipped with appliances. There are a lot of mirrors in the room. How many mirrors are there?

After a period of rest, the evening activities commenced.


After a standard hotel breakfast the next morning,


We packed our belongings into the car and drove along the beach road towards Chao Samran Beach.

This beach has been a popular tourist destination since ancient times. Legend has it that King Naresuan the Great visited this beach with his brother, King Ekathotsarot. They were so impressed by the beauty of the beach that they stayed for several days. The locals then named the beach "Haad Chao Samran," which means "The Beach of the Royal Delight."

The veracity of this statement is unknown, as there is no supporting evidence.



The evidence suggests that Haad Chao Samran reached its peak of popularity during the reign of King Rama VI. It was the most famous beach of its time, and the king ordered the construction of a royal camp there, known as "Klai Luang Bang Thalut," named after the Bang Thalut subdistrict where it was located. The royal residence on the beach was called "Phra Tamnak Haad Chao Samran." After recovering from an illness, the king changed the name of the subdistrict, as he considered the original name inauspicious. It became Haad Chao Samran, after the beach. However, the king later moved the royal residence to the present-day Mrigadayavan Palace, as Haad Chao Samran was infested with flies due to its proximity to a fishing village. The flies were so numerous that the king's courtiers reportedly complained, "Haad Chao Samran, but the courtiers are bored." The beach also lacked fresh water, which ultimately led to the king's decision to relocate.



The municipality has implemented several measures to improve the beach experience. Notably, there are no longer any sunbeds available, and life jackets are provided free of charge. Additionally, a new regulation requires all visitors to wear life jackets when entering the water. The beach is no longer crowded with vendors, and the early morning hours offer a particularly peaceful atmosphere with cool breezes, making it an ideal spot for relaxing on a rented mat (costing only 20 baht).



Take a nap. It will be good for you.



A plastic garland, a token of love, bought in recent times. The vendor said, "True love is hard to find."

Affordable mats and inflatable rings are available for rent, and life jackets are also for sale. However, if you don't want to spend much money, you can borrow them.

This is a blank paragraph.


However, if you wish to borrow, you must also be aware of the rules.



There are many restaurants and shops, so you won't have to worry about going hungry. There are also plenty of places to stay.

The beach is free for everyone to enjoy. You can bring your own mat and relax without any restrictions, unlike other tourist destinations where concessions have monopolized the beach and turned it into a marketplace.

Furthermore, there is an intention to create shade by planting ear-shaped trees (is that correct?), which, although slow, is certainly more worthwhile than digging up and transplanting them.



Chaw Samran Beach is another spot where Bryde's whales can be found, typically between November and December. Fishing boats offer whale-watching tours, which can be an exciting experience. However, the number of whales sighted may vary depending on luck.

Visiting Phetchaburi reminded me of their famous fresh sugarcane juice. It's been a while since I've had a good glass of fresh sugarcane juice.



Let me think... Hmmm...



Palm sugar is nowhere to be found. Riding back up towards Ban Lat district, I saw palm trees all over the rice fields, which reminded me of...



A Childhood Tale: The Stunted Palm

In ancient times, the people of Phetchaburi and Suphan Buri had a dispute over which city had more toddy palms. The argument continued for a long time until they finally decided to settle it by counting the trees. The city with the most trees would be declared the winner. On the day of the competition, each city sent representatives to climb a high place to count the palm trees. The people of Phetchaburi climbed to the top of Khao Wang, while the location of the Suphan Buri representatives is unknown as the source does not mention it.



Comparing the numbers, Suphan Buri has 99,999 palm trees, while Phetchaburi has 100,000, a difference of only one tree. The people of Suphan Buri refused to concede defeat easily and challenged Phetchaburi to a rematch. In the end, it was discovered that one of Suphan Buri's palm trees was a stunted one, and when counted from a higher vantage point, it was not visible. Thus, both cities had the same number of palm trees, but Suphan Buri's palm trees had one fewer crown than Phetchaburi's. And so, the tale of the palm trees of Phetchaburi ends.

Entering the Ban Lad market, I tried to find palm sugar, but no one was selling it. It seems the law is strict.



It's better to be self-sufficient and earn a living than to rely on others. For people like us, it's difficult to find food.



Ride back to Tha Yang to find lunch, souvenirs, and stroll around the Tha Yang market to enjoy the atmosphere.



Park your car here first. Thay Nam Kham Phop, a tourist attraction with a riverside market atmosphere, will start selling in the evening.



We arrived around noon and looked for a shady spot to park the car.

The bridge may be a bit wobbly.



A sign warns against exceeding 15 people, but since I am the only one here, what is there to worry about?



The shops are still closed, and the streets are deserted.



May I park here for a moment? It shouldn't be a problem.



Tha Yang is a charming district with a unique appeal.



The provided text is in Thai. Here's the translation in English:

"Still maintaining the way of life of the villagers, it might be because…"



There are no tourist attractions that have caused a change in lifestyle. People continue to live as they always have.



The design remains largely unchanged, and the longer you look at it, the more you feel like you've traveled back in time.



Aunt Chaow's noodle and coffee shop is always bustling with people.

The Roeng Kasem Suk cinema, which used to show movies as frequently as Major Cineplex.

The Hilux Tiger pictured is almost a legendary vehicle. As I recall, it was launched nationwide with a two-wheeled run.

I don't know why, haha.



Lunch at Phat Thai Tha Yang

For lunch, we stopped by Phat Thai Tha Yang for a midday bite. We started with some delicious fried meatballs, perfectly complemented by a flavorful dipping sauce. To quench our thirst, we enjoyed a glass of chilled, freshly squeezed sugar cane juice, its sweetness hitting the spot without being overpowering.

The main course was a classic pork Phat Thai, boasting a rich, tamarind-infused flavor with a delightful sourness that almost made us forget the lime wedges. To finish on a sweet note, we indulged in some palm fruit in syrup, a perfect way to end the meal.

The total bill came to 122 baht, a fair price for the quality and quantity of food we enjoyed.



The stir-fried noodle restaurant is located next to the Guan Yu Temple, near the River of Crossing. You can easily spot it by the large crowd gathered there.



The storefront is brimming with souvenirs, the most tempting of which are the renowned Phetchaburi limes. While I was tempted to buy some, I decided to save it for another opportunity.

The restaurant was bustling with activity, with people constantly moving around like a game of musical chairs.

The Red Shirt uncle took good care of us. He was very friendly and seemed concerned when he saw us order a lot of food, fearing we wouldn't be able to finish it all. Heh heh, little did he know about our appetites!

The first item served was a large bottle of chilled fresh sugarcane juice, straight from the refrigerator. Poured into a glass with ice, it looked refreshing and sweet, but not too sweet. If it had been mixed with palm sugar, it would have been irresistible.

Next to it is a refreshing chilled palm seed from the refrigerator. So delightful.

The snacks followed, not long after. Deep-fried pork meatballs, definitely not made with flour. The dipping sauce was delicious.

A moderate amount is sufficient. Any more than this and you can check the bill, as you should be comfortably full. 😜



The stir-fried pork with rice noodles arrived shortly, with a faint aroma of tamarind and a leading sourness. A squeeze of lime added a touch of citrusy fragrance, creating a well-balanced flavor.

Across from the Guan Yu Temple is a stall selling Phetchaburi Khao Chae. Mae Lek thought it would be a good souvenir to bring home, so she bought a set for 60 baht.

Full bellies and souvenirs in hand, we bid farewell to Phetchaburi, promising to return soon.


Thank you to everyone who has read this far.

If you have any feedback, please feel free to share it.

I hope you enjoyed my work, even if you only read it while sitting on the toilet.
