| Cha-Am Beach |
After a stressful week of my English Camp, I decided to skip at least 2-3 days from my place to regain my energy. :D First thing came into my mind is my budget. Basically, when you are working in Thailand under agency, you really know how it works - No Work, No Pay. Through helped by my friends who I met in Laos and Thailand I made this trip possible. Since it's already summer break here, I really don't care how many hours should I consume for the travel time.
I got amazed when my friends told me that I can only spend like 500-700 bahts for the travel expenses. Yeah! They are right because here in Thailand, public transportation is very cheap unlike in Singapore and Hong Kong. I searched online and look for possible affordable accommodation and I found one! I usually book my hotel accommodation through Agoda.com and booking.com whenever I travel abroad and Travelbook.ph for domestic.
I booked my hostel for an overnight stay at M&S Guesthousefor 350 bahts (fan room, with wifi, private bathroom with h&c, flat screen tv with cable and double bed). Good thing because they offer Book and Pay at the hotel.
How To Get Hua Lamphong Station from Victory Monument
From Victory Monument ride a bus going to Hua Lamphong (bus no. 29 or 34) and you need to pay9 baths. It's like 10-15 min away from Victory Monument. You an also use your Google Map, it can help you a lot because of its accuracy. You don't need to worry because if you ride Bus 29 all people will get off at Hua Lamphong Station.
Once you already in the Hua Lamphong Train Station, just look for the Ticket Booth. Ticket price is just 40 bahts going to Cha-Am and train departs at 9:20am and will arrive in Ban Cha-Am at 1:15pm. Always remember that there are 3 scheduled trains only that will stop in Ban Cha Am; 9:20am, 3:30pm and 6:30pm.
