Golden Beach Cha Am is reasonably priced. The buffet breakfast is a bit better than most Thai hotel buffet breakfasts as they have a noodle and an omelet chef to customize, and most of the food was reasonably warm. A good mix of western, Thai, salad, fruit and bread offerings. Hotel is very close to the beach, near the quieter northern end, and that is a huge asset. Rooms are large and clean, but sparsely furnished. In-room coffee/tea is nice. Swimming pool is fantastic! Wi-fi is weak and sometimes unreachable. The shower floor can get slippery and they'd do well to add some friction strips to keep slipping around down. Pleasant, helpful staff. We enjoyed our stay and will return.
