Local Attractions
No stay at The Valley Khao Yai is complete without visiting three nearby must-sees. First, Khao Yai National Park, Thailand’s third-largest national park, is just 20 minutes’ drive from the property. Explore misty walking trails, spot wild elephants and hornbills, cool off at the iconic Haew Narok Waterfall, or book a guided night safari to see nocturnal wildlife. Second, the popular Primo Piazza, a charming Italian-themed hilltop village 15 minutes away, offers cobblestone streets, alpaca petting zoos, homemade gelato, and sweeping valley views perfect for photos. Third, PB Winery, Thailand’s most famous hilltop winery, is 10 minutes from the hotel, offering wine tastings, vineyard tours, and sunset dinners overlooking the grapevines.
Travel Tips
If you’re visiting during peak season (November to February), book your stay at least one month in advance to secure availability, as this is Khao Yai’s most popular time for cool, dry weather. The property is entirely non-smoking, so plan accordingly if you smoke. While the kitchen is well-equipped for simple meals, the on-site restaurant serves hearty Thai and international dishes for days you don’t feel like cooking. Renting a car is the easiest way to explore the region, and free on-site parking makes this seamless; if you don’t drive, book a private songthaew (shared truck taxi) from Pakchong train station for around 300 THB. Don’t forget to pack layers for cool mountain evenings, even during Thailand’s hot season, and bug spray for hiking trips into the national park.
