From here we set off for hidden waterfalls, whispering temples and boat trips into the mangroves.
Our club is the springboard for anyone who wants to discover Thailand on their own. Our travel expert Lea has tried it out.
Hi Lea. You explored Thailand for yourself from ROBINSON KHAO LAK. What immediately fascinated you?
Without a doubt: the beach! The vastness, the light, the tranquillity – almost like a painting. And if you stroll through the club, you’ll find little green oases everywhere. That’s where the discovery began for me.
Surprises are waiting everywhere
The club beach is perfect for spontaneous discovery tours – even if they only lead to the next bend in the palm trees.
“The bay looks like a movie set. And yet it’s real.”

But you were also drawn out of the club. What did you experience?
Exploring the surrounding area is a real experience. I drove through small villages, past palm groves and hidden beaches. Stopping spontaneously in between to discover a temple or eat in a food stall where only locals sit. This is what the real Thailand feels like.
A world of fruits, colors and surprises
The real Thailand doesn’t wait in brochures – it unfolds on paths that wander off the map.
“My tip for explorers: hire a scooter! Renting is super easy right at the club.”

WHAT’S WAITING BEYOND THE CLUB? HERE ARE LEA’S FAVORITE PLACES.
What impressions still stay with you today?
The sunsets have literally burned themselves into my memory – different every day and always spectacular.
What really touched me was the Thai welcome. The “Wai”, this simple, sincere gesture in which the palms of the hands are placed together in front of the chest. A small ritual that immediately creates a bond.
A beautiful souvenir
"I often saw these frangipani flowers floating in the pool – I just had to take one home with me as a hair clip."
“The club was my retreat. And my springboard.”

A smile that is contagious
At ROBINSON KHAO LAK, the Thai way of life surrounds you in everything you do. You can feel and hear the positive attitude towards life, the respectful interaction and the boundless willingness to help.
Hey Adam, your club combines the most diverse facets of Thailand. How do you manage that?
Well, we are lucky that we really have a lot of space available and that almost exclusively Thais look after our guests. This gives our guests an authentic experience of Thai culture, food and, of course, customs and traditions.
The most important highlights at a glance:
Authentic Thai culture in the club
Typical local specialties & cooking classes
Traditional festivals & spa treatments
13 kilometers of gently sloping beach
Nature reserve with exotic plants, waterfalls & mountains
Wide range of sports including Thai boxing
Loving childcare
Colorful and fresh
Every meal has countless surprises in store for you. The culinary temptations of Southeast Asia are simply a true yoga lesson for the palate.
Let’s stay with the food. How do you combine the street kitchen character with a haute cuisine approach?
Of course, the traditional dishes that you can also get at the market are the basis for much of what we conjure up in the kitchen. However, we are constantly reinventing ourselves and creating fusion dishes that also incorporate influences from other international cuisines. A la carte menus await you in the Special Baan Thai Restaurant . There are exclusive breakfasts for suite, bungalow and villa guests and you can take a cooking course in the Thai Cooking Class to share your Thai experience with friends and family at home.
A punch of energy
Fancy a real Thai boxing workout? You’re training with the locals until the air burns. And sweat turns into smiles.
Many locals take meticulous care of their health. What role does sport play in your club?
That’s right. A healthy lifestyle is the recipe for a long and healthy life. That’s why we offer our guests a wide range of exercise options. This starts with traditional Thai boxing training and extends to SUP yoga, archery, beach tennis, group fitness and much more.
As laid-back as the days in Thailand may be. When night falls, the joie de vivre is far from over. What events is your club known for?
That’s actually true. There are a number of very different events. Some are very contemplative, such as the “Floating Lantern Event”, where we place floating candles on the water and pray for wishes and blessings. The “Loy Krathon Festival”, “Song Kran Festival” or the “Chinese New Year” are a little more crazy. What’s behind these titles? We invite you to discover it – and it’s sure to delight.
Welcome to the Jungle
The national park around the club boasts fabulous waterfalls, deserted lakes and enchanted hills. Which natural wonder do you want to discover?
As a FOR ALL Club, you welcome singles, couples and families with children. What do you do to make children’s eyes light up?
On the one hand, we have a very family-friendly beach. The little ones always have a great time on 13 kilometers of fine, gently sloping sandy beach. There are also many pools and the ROBY CLUB with its caring childcare promises fun for all ages.
