Travel Tips

Baan Chom Khao books out fast on weekends and Thai public holidays, so reserve your room at least two weeks in advance during peak season (November to February, when temperatures are cool and ideal for hiking). If you plan to spend a full day exploring Khao Yai National Park, pack sturdy walking shoes, bug spray, and plenty of water, and ask the front desk to arrange a guided tour if you’re new to the area.
