Local Attractions

Three standout attractions are all within a short drive of the hotel. First, Khao Yai National Park, Thailand’s third-largest national park, is just 20 minutes away. Explore misty waterfalls like Haew Narok and Haew Suwat, spot wild elephants and hornbills on guided jungle hikes, or camp overnight under the stars for a true wilderness experience. Second, the Primo Piazza Khao Yai, an Italian-themed village just 10 minutes from the hotel, offers cobblestone streets, al fresco cafes, sheep petting zoos, and colourful photo spots that perfectly complement Toscana Piazza’s own Mediterranean vibe. Third, PB Valley Khao Yai Winery, 15 minutes away, invites visitors to tour vineyards, sample award-winning Thai cool-climate wines, and enjoy sunset lunches overlooking the rolling grape rows.

Travel Tips

Book your room well in advance, especially during peak season from November to February, when Khao Yai’s cool dry weather draws crowds from Bangkok. Many activities on site, from tennis court hire to spa treatments, require an additional fee, so confirm pricing when you check in. Pack layers if you’re visiting between December and January—temperatures can drop sharply in the evenings in the Khao Yai hills, so a light jacket is useful for evening walks or outdoor dining. If you plan to explore Khao Yai National Park, hire a local guide through the hotel front desk for a safe, informative hiking experience, and don’t forget bug spray and sturdy walking shoes.
