Nearby Attractions

The property’s prime location puts Khao Yai’s top sights within easy reach:

• Khao Yai National Park: Thailand’s third-largest national park is just 20 minutes’ drive away, home to dense jungle, thundering waterfalls like Haew Narok and Haew Suwat, and wildlife ranging from wild elephants to hornbills. Book a jeep safari to spot animals at dawn, or hike easy trails to hidden swimming holes.
• PB Valley Khao Yai Winery: Thailand’s most famous winery is 15 minutes from the hotel, offering guided vineyard tours, wine tastings of award-winning tropical blends, and farm-to-table dining with panoramic hill views. It’s perfect for a lazy afternoon of sipping wine overlooking the mountains.

Travel Tips

Since there is no on-site parking, if you rent a car (the most popular way to explore Khao Yai), confirm off-site parking arrangements with the property in advance, or book a local private driver for day trips to skip the hassle. With no on-site internet, take the opportunity to disconnect—download offline maps and any travel documents before you arrive. For longer stays, stock up on groceries at the Tesco Lotus in Pak Chong 20 minutes away, since the full kitchen lets you cook your own meals to save money. Pack layers—temperatures drop sharply in the evenings even during hot season, so bring a light sweater for late nights on your balcony.
