Cha-am, Coastal district in Phetchaburi, Thailand
The district extends along the Gulf of Thailand with long sandy beaches and contains nine distinct administrative sub-districts covering 660 square kilometers.
Originally established as Na Yang in 1897, the district was renamed to Nong Chok in 1914 before receiving its current name after World War II.
The district maintains traditional Thai coastal life with local markets selling fresh seafood catches and fishermen practicing traditional fishing methods.
Visitors can reach Cha-am from Bangkok via a three-hour drive on National Route 4 or by taking regular train services from the capital.
The district houses Thailand's first American educational institution, Webster University, alongside the Stamford International University's largest campus.
