Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local attractions sit within a 30-minute drive of the property: First, Khao Yai National Park, Thailand’s third-largest national park, is just 25 minutes away. Home to wild elephants, hornbills, and hundreds of other wildlife species, it offers scenic hiking trails, thundering waterfalls like Haew Narok and Haew Suwat, and early morning wildlife drives that let you spot native animals in their natural habitat. Second, Primo Piazza is a charming 15-minute drive away. A European-style village modeled after a northern Italian town, it features cobblestone streets, colorful alpine buildings, a sheep pasture where you can feed lambs, boutique shops, and cozy cafes perfect for slow afternoons and photo ops. Third, PB Valley Khao Yai Winery, 20 minutes from the property, is Thailand’s most well-regarded winery. It offers guided vineyard tours, wine tastings of local tropical and cool-climate varietals, and a hilltop restaurant with panoramic views of the vineyards.

Travel Tips

Antani’s staff only speak Thai, so download a translation app before your arrival to avoid communication missteps. Khao Yai’s temperatures drop significantly in the evenings (even in hot season), so pack warm layers for outdoor barbecues or late-night terrace hangs. Book your stay and any barbecue facility use well in advance, especially during peak season (November to February), when Khao Yai fills up quickly with weekend travelers from Bangkok. If you plan to explore the area daily, rent a car—public transport is limited in this part of Pak Chong, and the property’s free private parking makes self-driving effortless.
