About The Barai, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
- The resort's 98 rooms and suites include 27 suites and two two-bedroom penthouses, most with private balconies, deep soaking tubs, and rainforest showers.
- Hua Hin began as a fishing village called Ban Samor Riang before becoming a seaside retreat for Siamese nobility in the early 20th century, a legacy the resort's design still evokes.
- White Cottage, one of the resort's two restaurants, was reassembled from the preserved timbers of Ban Chom Khluen, meaning 'Seeing the Wave,' a historic seaside summer house.
- The Wellness Hub is guided by Dr. Chuthamat Srinoi, known as Dr. Cash, who blends traditional Chinese medicine, sound vibration, and energy healing into personalized wellness programs.
