 The Fishing PierThe fishing pier is at the north of Cha-Am. Go north along the beachfront and keep going straight through the gravelled road that starts from Wat Neranchararam (i.e. don’t follow the road that veers left). You will find the pier, and a few seafood restaurants. There used to be a lot of restaurants, unfortunately many had to relocate and all is left now is rubble. |  The Black ogress of Puek TianPuek Tian beach (also spelled Puk Tian) is a popular photographic spot with many sculptures of fictional characters invented by Thailand’s most famous poet, Sunthorn Phoo.
