Top 3 Local Attractions

Just 20 minutes from the resort, Khaoyai National Park is Thailand’s third-largest national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to wild elephants, hornbills, gibbons, and hundreds of tropical plant species. Don’t miss the stunning Haew Narok Waterfall, or a early morning safari drive to spot wildlife grazing in the open meadows. For a slower pace, Thong Somboon Club Winery is a 15-minute drive away. This family-owned vineyard sits on cool hillside slopes, with wine tastings, casual farm-to-table dining, and photo-perfect rolling vineyard views that feel a world away from lowland Thailand. Just 10 minutes from the resort, Bonanza Khaoyai is a popular outdoor adventure park with ziplining, horseback riding, mountain biking trails, and a petting zoo for children, making it a great option for active travelers or families looking for a fun day out.

Travel Tips

If you’re driving from Bangkok, use Google Maps to navigate directly to the resort — the final stretch is a well-maintained rural road suitable for all vehicle types. Visit between November and February for cool, dry weather ideal for hiking and outdoor activities. Bring layers: Khaoyai’s evenings can drop to 18-20°C even in cool season, so pack a light sweater for nights on your balcony. Book rooms well in advance if you plan to visit over Thai public holidays or weekends, as this popular retreat fills up quickly. If you don’t speak Thai, download a translation app to help with on-site communication, and pre-load any directions or activity bookings before arrival, as mobile signal can be spotty in remote parts of the hills.
