Nearby Local Attractions

Just a 15-minute drive from the property, Khao Yai National Park—Thailand’s oldest national park—boasts lush rainforest, cascading waterfalls, wild elephant sightings, and miles of hiking trails for all skill levels. Don’t miss the popular Haew Narok Waterfall, a three-tiered stunner that peaks in flow during the rainy season. For a quirky, photo-worthy day trip, Primo Piazza Khao Yai is a 20-minute drive away. This Italian-inspired village is full of pastel Mediterranean-style architecture, alpaca petting zoos, specialty coffee shops, and boutique stores perfect for an afternoon of browsing. Wine lovers will enjoy a visit to PB Valley Khao Yai Winery, a 25-minute drive from the property. Thailand’s premier winery offers guided tours, wine tastings, and farm-to-table dining with panoramic views of surrounding vineyards.

Travel Tips

If you plan to use the property’s barbecue facilities, book your access in advance to avoid disappointment, as the paid add-on is popular with groups. If you’re traveling without a car, arrange a private transfer from Pak Chong train station in advance—ride-hailing services can be hard to find in this quiet residential area. Pack layers if you’re visiting between November and February: Khao Yai’s hills cool down significantly at night, even in tropical Thailand. Don’t forget to pack leashed pet accessories if you’re bringing your four-legged friend, and confirm whether your preferred room type has a private or shared bathroom when booking to match your needs.
