Nearby Local Attractions

Three unmissable spots sit within 30 minutes of the hotel:

• Khao Yai National Park: Just 40 minutes from the hotel, Thailand’s oldest national park boasts lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and opportunities to spot wild elephants, hornbills, and gibbons. Join a guided night safari or hike the easy trails to Haew Narok Waterfall for a full day of natural adventure.
• Lam Takhong Dam: A 15-minute drive from the hotel, this sprawling reservoir is a favorite local spot for picnics, kayaking, and sunset photography. The surrounding grasslands are perfect for leisurely bike rides, and you can sample fresh grilled river fish from small waterfront stalls.
• Phimai Historical Park: One hour north of the hotel, this well-preserved 11th-century Khmer temple complex predates Angkor Wat and offers a quieter, less crowded alternative to Cambodia’s famous site. Wander the sandstone carvings and learn about the Khmer empire’s historic reach into Isan.

Travel Tips

The hotel is a 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok, so renting a car gives you the most flexibility to explore surrounding attractions; valet parking is available on-site for free. If you’re traveling during hot season (March to May), book a pool-view room to start your days with a quick morning dip before heading out. Pack comfortable walking shoes for temple visits and national park hikes, and don’t forget sunscreen for days spent by the pool or on the water. For golf lovers, a full 18-hole course is just 3 kilometers from the hotel, with green fees available to book through the front desk. Isan can see heavy afternoon rains in monsoon season (June to October), so the hotel’s on-site facilities — from the fitness center to the bar — make a perfect rainy-day retreat.
