Guests at Le Royal Meridien Baan Taling Ngam can spend their time basking in the sunshine or participating in the many exciting activities on the island or one of its neighbouring islands.
Diving
Guests can learn to scuba dive at the Resort's own PADI certified school which offers several different courses to suit time availability and physical capability. A free one-hour course (non-certification) introduces students to the equipment and gives them a feel' for underwater exploration.
The PADI Openwater is a 4-day course instructing beginners on the theory and water skills required to make ocean dives. PADI certification is awarded upon completion of this course. The school also has courses for the advanced divers interested in night diving, photography, search and recovery among others. Once certified, guests can explore the nearby islands. Fees depend on the course selected
Excursions
Seaside excursions to Ang Thong Marine Park can be arranged by Le Royal Meridien Baan Taling Ngam. This adventure tour is a full day trip with lunch provided. Snorkelling and water skiing are part of the fun. Or spend a half day at Koh Tan snorkelling and swimming around in the beautiful waters.
Hotel Activities
For guests who would rather stick close to home, sea kayaks and windsurfers are popular and available all day long.
There are two tennis courts which are flood-lit in the evenings for a cool, sunset match. There is no charge for guests to play on the courts. And the signature pool is
a refreshing way to relax after a hot game on the courts.
Or what about some beach volleyball or football? Everyone can join in the fun. Mountain bikes are available with several places in the area well-worth visiting by bike. It is an eco-friendly way of discovering the island's beautiful and unspoiled greenery. At the end of a day there is always time for a herbal therapeutic massage or a sauna or both.
A soothing repose in the Jacuzzi preceded by a light work out in the fitness room is not only healthy but blissful too. Whatever your pleasure, Le Royal Meridien Baan Taling Ngam has the recreational facilities for all
