Local Attractions

No stay at Pa-Rita Country Home is complete without exploring Khao Yai’s most beloved nearby spots:

• Khao Yai National Park: Thailand’s third-largest national park is just a 20-minute drive from the property. Home to wild elephants, sun bears, hundreds of bird species, and the iconic Haew Narok and Haew Suwat waterfalls, it’s perfect for half-day hikes and wildlife spotting.
• PB Valley Khao Yai Winery: A 15-minute drive away, this scenic vineyard offers wine tastings, guided tours, and al fresco dining with rolling hill views, ideal for a lazy afternoon outing.
• Prinz Pallace Chocolate Factory: A popular family-friendly stop 10 minutes from the hotel, this artisanal chocolate workshop offers tastings, hands-on making classes, and a cozy café serving rich hot chocolate and homemade desserts.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (November to February), when Khao Yai’s cool weather draws crowds from Bangkok. If you plan to cook in the shared kitchen, stop at the local Wang Nam Khiao morning market 10 minutes away for fresh produce, homemade street food, and local cheeses. While the property offers ground-floor rooms for accessibility, upper-level accommodations are only accessible via stairs, so be sure to request a ground-floor room if you have mobility needs. Finally, pack layers: Khao Yai nights are often 5–10 degrees cooler than Bangkok, even in the hot season, making evenings on the garden terrace perfect for bonfires and stargazing.
