Talay Tara Resort  

On Thailand’s Gulf coast in Sam Roi Yot — a family-friendly resort tucked next to Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park and roughly 400 metres from the shoreline. Phraya Nakhon Cave, Pak Nam Pran and Sam Roi Yot Beach are all within easy driving distance, with Hua Hin about 24 miles away.

Forty air‑conditioned rooms mix coastal cool with practical comforts — many feature private spa tubs, furnished patios and some include full kitchens and private rooftop terraces. The vibe leans relaxed and modern, with rooftop sun spots, local seafood touches and family-focused spaces like kids’ playrooms and picnic/barbecue areas.

Take a dip in the long outdoor pool (about 45m), unwind in the spa or hot tub, and keep active in the fitness center or on rented bicycles. On‑site extras include a poolside bar, massage/solarium facilities, BBQ and picnic zones, babysitting (surcharge), concierge and a tour desk — plus free self‑parking and airport shuttle service on request (surcharge).

Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available in rooms and public areas. Guests also have access to express check‑in/out, laundry/dry cleaning and airport transfer services.

The on‑site restaurant serves international dishes with strong local seafood, Thai, European and Italian options — outdoor dining and live music dial up the atmosphere. There’s a poolside bar, limited‑hour room service and English breakfasts available for a fee.
