Travel Tips

If you’re planning to visit Khao Yai National Park, book your entry ticket online at least one day in advance, as daily visitor numbers are capped. Rent a car or scooter for your trip – parking at the hotel is free, and public transport in Khao Yai is limited. Pack layers: even in hot season, temperatures drop significantly at night and in the mountainous national park. For longer stays, stock up on snacks and water at the convenience stores in central Pak Chong, 15 minutes from the hotel, before heading back. If you’re traveling during peak season (November to February), book your room at least two weeks in advance to secure your preferred accommodation type.
