SPORTS
& LEISURES: 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.
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.
Seaside excursions to Ang Thong Marine Park can be arranged by Le

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.
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

pleasure, Le Royal Meridien Baan Taling Ngam has the recreational
facilities for all. |

HOTEL FACILITIES & SERVICES:
Unique
to the island is the Resort's signature pool, a large outdoor swimming
pool that just drops off. A bar floats on the edge of the pool and
provides guests with thirst quenching juices or tropical cocktails.
The east side of the island is a variety of several beach huts but
the West side is an entirely separate world. Le Royal Meridien Baan
Taling Ngam's ideal location at the southwest side of the island
allows guests the chance to venture out beyond the dream-like setting
of the little village by peaceful waters.
Kayaks, catamarans, snorkeling and windsurfs are readily available
for the more active. Tennis, mountain biking, fitness centre, beauty
salon, golf driving range, Le Royal Meridien Spa and Massage service,
sauna, PADI dive school and a choice of seven swimming pools complete
the on-site recreational facilities.
Directly in-front of the hotel is a fascinating coral reef and the
recommended swimming area is located past the water sports centre.
For your safety we recommend that you use shoes (which may be purchased
at our Boutique) when snorkelling and swimming on the reef. |
