4D3N Khao Yai Itinerary — The Whimsical City Just 3 Hours From Bangkok

A 3-hour drive from Bangkok lies a city filled with wineries, farms, and massive floral fields. Wait what? That exists in Thailand? Yes it does, and you can find it all in Khao Yai. Here’s how to cover all the must-eat-see-do in this 4D3N Khao Yai itinerary.

Bangkok has been my go-to getaway whenever there’s a short window for travelling. Flights are fairly cheap (being only 3 hours away), food is delicious and affordable, and it’s easy to get around. But there’s only so much the city can continue to excite us, restless travellers.

Right after we landed in Bangkok this time, we drove 3 hours north to the city of Khao Yai where we spent four days exploring places we hardly expected to see in Thailand.

Pre-trip Essentials

Best time to visit: Khao Yai is generally a few degrees cooler than Bangkok but the cool weather and clear skies are best experienced during the post-monsoon/winter season between November – February (flights then are relatively cheap too!). Average temperatures in the day hover around a comfortable mid-20 and drop to 10–15°C at night.

Getting around: Many key sights can be up to an hour’s drive away. There are also no metered taxis or ride-hailing apps around here. So we booked an affordable 4-day private car charter through Klook which gave us complete freedom to decide what we wanted to experience each day in Khao Yai. More on that below!

*Pro-tip: Use code <THETRAVELINTERN> on Klook to get 5% off all activities with a min. spend of S$50 (discount cap at S$15). Apply the promo code upon checkout. One-time use only!

Connectivity: 8-day unlimited data SIM card (pick up from BKK airport)

Travel insurance:  TravelCare covers medical overseas expenses including adventurous activities cover (starts from $4.50/day )

Arrive in Bangkok

If you’re landing at Suvarnabhumi Airport, you can spot the drivers waiting outside Gate 4 with distinct orange (Klook) signboards. We met our driver, bought some breakfast and were on our way.

*Pro-tip:  The ride will take 2.5–3 hours so grab yourself some food at the airport’s Family Mart. You can get a pretty decent Thai Basil Rice set with a runny fried egg for ฿65.

Yellow Submarine Coffee Tank

After a 2.5-hour drive, we took a coffee stop at the Yellow Submarine Coffee Tank . The black walls and minimalist architecture attract many locals who use the various corners for a mini photoshoot.

But don’t just come for the photos, some notable items on the menu include their Hokkaido Coffee (฿140) and Charcoal Honey Toast (฿185), which comes with a delicious scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The coffee was alright but the charcoal toast was pretty good! It was crisp, evenly buttered throughout and compliments well with the vanilla ice cream.

Cost: From ฿140/dish Opening hours:  9AM – 6PM (Mon – Thu), 9AM – 7PM (Fri – Sun), closed on Tues and PH How to get there:   11min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

*Note: Might be closed on weekdays during the low season.

Primo Piazza

Just a 3-minute drive from Yellow Submarine Coffee Tank is the famous Primo Piazza  — an Italian-themed village with vintage buildings.

Drop by the cafe for some brunch or the ice cream parlour to cool off under the midday sun.

But perhaps the greatest highlight here is the sheep, donkeys, and alpacas! Your entry ticket can be exchanged for a bunch of animal feed which serves as a good bribe for photos with the animals 😀.

Entrance fee:  ฿200 Opening hours:  9AM – 6PM How to get there:   11min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

Dinner at Krua Kampan

After exploring hipster cafes, and walking through little Italy, we were craving some homely Thai food and chanced upon Kua Kampan — a 10-minute drive from Palio. Its cosy, open-air setting and affordable prices turned out to be quite popular with local tourists.

The centrepiece is a modified boat made to accommodate a couple of tables on the deck. Popular dishes here are the Red Curry with Snails (฿200) — snails were alright but the curry was really good, and Red Ruby Fish (฿320) — the fish was massive! If there are only two of you, the grilled mackerel (฿220) is a good alternative.

Cost: From ฿200/dish Opening hours:  9AM – 9PM How to get there: 8min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

PB Wine Valley

Start the day early and hop on the 9AM winery tour at PB Wine Valley — a 350-hectare vineyard and the largest in Khao Yai.

At 350m above sea level, the conditions are perfect for growing certain varieties of wine grapes, as well as other seasonal fruits you can find here.

The tour leaves four times daily (9:15AM, 11:15AM, 1:15PM, and 3:15PM) and will bring you through vineyards, the wine factory, and of course, to taste some wine. Kids as well as those who aren’t up for alcohol can ask for a full glass of 100% Shiraz Grape juice (non-alcoholic) instead.

Cost:  From ~S$14/pax for a 70-minute tour around the winery (includes 3 wine tasters) Opening hours: 8AM – 8PM (Sun – Thu), 8AM – 10PM (Fri and Sat) How to get there: 26min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

Farm Chokchai

This 100-hectare farm holds tours twice a day from Tuesdays to Fridays and every 20 minutes over the weekends. Unfortunately, we couldn’t book the tour but heard great reviews from the other travellers we met in Khao Yai.

The tour brings you through the farm’s agriculture processes, a rodeo show and even has ice cream-making classes (only available through pre-booking).

If you miss the farm tour, there are also ATV rides (฿360) that bring you into the forest and an open farm with sheep and horses you can feed for ฿40. There’s also a Chokchai Museum that houses a wide range of collections from cowboy merchandise to vintage cars and cameras.

Cost:  ฿300 for a 2-hour Farm Tour Farm tours:  10AM and 2PM (Tues – Fri); 10AM, 11AM, 1PM, 2PM (Sat, Sun and PH); closed on Mondays unless it’s a PH How to get there: 30min drive from PB Wine Valley ( Google Maps )

*Note:  Pre-book the tour by calling +66 4493 5504

Ban Mai Chay Nam

Ban Mai Chay Nam is so much more than just a restaurant. While walking in, you’ll see an extensive collection of characters like Superman, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and even Colonel Sanders. Walking through the corridor to our tables was a whole journey of childhood nostalgia.

The place is huge but can get quite crowded during lunch hours as tour buses will make a stop here.

We ordered papaya salad (฿60), a medium-sized plate of fried rice with generous servings of real crab meat (฿150), and tom yum soup (฿200) which were all really tasty and priced affordably.

Cost: From ฿60/dish Opening hours:  9AM – 9PM How to get there: 20min drive from Farm Chokchai ( Google Maps )

Baan Suan Noi (Hobbit House)

After lunch, wean off your food coma with a 40-minute nap in the car before arriving at Baan Suan Noi; known as the Hobbit House.   Primarily an accommodation (that gets booked up really quickly ) you can also visit just to take photos and explore the area.

There’s even a whole room full of costumes ranging from Snow White to Harry Potter and of course, The Hobbit characters. Some of the unbooked rooms are even left open for anyone to explore.

There are 13 themed rooms in either Hobbit or Santorini style.

Have to say I was really quite impressed with the Santorini rooms. Not only because of its all-white theme but the little details like the curvatures in the wall and the little trinkets in the room really reminded me of our Airbnb when we were in Santorini .

Cost:  ฿50 (Entrance Only); ฿100 (Entrance + Costume Rental) Opening hours: 8AM – 11PM How to get there:  32min drive from Ban Mai Chay Nam ( Google Maps )

Dinner at Midwinter Green

Up for a castle dining experience? Head to Midwinter Green an hour before the sun sets so you can see the place when there’s still natural light but also at its most beautiful when the outdoor lights go on.

If you’re visiting in the cooler seasons, ask for the outdoor seats so you can enjoy the cool evening breeze and live music, while dining with a view of the castle.

Dishes cost around the same as cafes in Singapore which isn’t too pricey considering the setting and service. We ordered the pork ribs with BBQ sauce (฿490) as well as the Aglio Olio (฿295) which was really fragrant and a must-try for spicy food lovers.

Cost: From ฿295/dish Opening hours: 10AM – 10PM (Sun – Thu), closes at 11PM on Fri and Sat How to get there: 31min drive from Baan Suan Noi ( Google Maps )

Day 3: Khao Yai National Park

Spanning across 2,000 square kilometres, Khao Yai National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is home to lots of wildlife like elephants, deers, otters and gibbons.

Grab a map from the Visitor Centre before going on self-guided treks to check out waterfalls and viewpoints where you can overlook the vast greenland. Most of the treks are fairly easy and straightforward, with the option of getting your driver to drop you close to the lookout point.

Entrance fee:  ฿400 and ฿50/car Opening hours: 6AM – 6PM How to get there: 10min from Primo Piazza ( Google Maps )

Haew Narok Waterfall

Starting from the furthest point, and also the tallest waterfall in the National Park, Haew Narok measures 100m high. From the closest drop-off point, it’s an easy 900m walk to the lookout point.

If you’re game, there’s also a rocky path from the left side of the barrier where you can climb down to the base. It might look really steep but you’ll see lots of families with young kids attempting the trail too.

Recommended time: 1.5 hours Opening hours:  8AM – 5PM

Pa Deo Die Cliff (Also spelt Pha Diao Dai/Pha Diew Die)

There are a couple of scenic viewpoints from the Pak Chong Entrance towards the visitor centre but Pa Deo Die is arguably the best. There’s a raised wooden path that makes the cliff easily accessible and a round trip around the path only takes 15 – 20 minutes.

Although there are warning signs against getting too close to the edge, the flat boulders are pretty safe to hang your legs over as you enjoy the panoramic view upfront.

Recommended time:  30 – 45 minutes

Haew Suwat Waterfall

Haew Suwat Waterfall is much easier to access than Haew Narok Waterfall so you’ll see a bigger crowd here; though there are more vantage points so you’re more likely to get a photo without getting photobombed. The waterfall is 25m high and splits into two separate streams. You can even walk to the back of the waterfall although you’ll probably get a little bit wet.

Recommended time:  1 hour

Night Safari

At the visitor centre, you can pre-book your night safari for ฿500 a car (fits up to 10 pax) which goes out at two timings (7PM and 8PM). Although if you’re lucky (like us 😀) you can spot wild elephants during the day from the grassland between Haew Narok and the visitor centre.

Popular animals spotted on the safari ride other than elephants include deer, otters, oxes and gibbons. Cost:  ฿500/vehicle Tour timings: 7PM and 8PM

*Pro-tip:  Bring along a sweater as temperatures tend to dip quite a bit at night.

Pak Chong Night Market

After a whole day of hiking, the yummy street food at the Pak Chong Night Market was a treat.

Not the most appetising but it wasn’t as bad as expected!

Some of our favourite finds here were the Mango Sticky Rice (฿60 for a whole mango and generous servings of rice), fresh fruits like papaya (฿20, neatly cut and packed in a box), instant noodle salad (฿60) and the Chilli Cheese Fries (฿39).

Cost: From ฿20/dish Opening hours:  5PM – 10PM How to get there:  32min from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

Our flight back to Singapore wasn’t until at night so we had the afternoon to explore before driving back to Bangkok.

Brunch at The Chocolate Factory

Although called the  Chocolate Factory , this glass building is actually more of a restaurant with a pastry and chocolate store on the first floor.

When you enter, there’s also a small glass kitchen where you can observe chocolate products in the making.

The restaurant serves a wide range of Western to local Thai food with mains starting from ฿180.

Opening hours:  11AM – 10PM How to get there:  12min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

Jim Thompson Farm

Saving the best for the last (partially also because it was the most out of the way), it takes about 2 hours to drive to the Jim Thompson Farm but if you love flowers, the scale of these flower fields are well worth it!

These sunflowers are taller than the average human being!

Don’t get too carried away though as it takes around 3 hours to drive back to Bangkok in moderate traffic.

There’s also a food court within the Jim Thompson Farm at very affordable prices. Grab a bowl of noodles or rice with curry before heading off for the airport.

Entrance fee: ฿160 (Weekdays), ฿190 (Weekends) Opening hours:  9AM – 5PM How to get there:  2hr drive from The Chocolate Factory ( Google Maps )

Accommodation in Khao Yai

1) luxury: lala mukha tented resort.

Not only is the tent interior one of the cosiest we’ve experienced, the surroundings at  Lala Mukha Tented Resort  is so gorgeous you don’t really want to leave the resort, no kidding!

The area is surrounded by mountains, plenty of greenery and not to mention how cutely designed the accommodation is. You get to pick from three choices:

Loft Tree house — has one double and two single beds

Deluxe Savana Tent — comes with attached shower and toilet

Eco Safari Tent — no attached bathroom but comes with a living room area, a fridge, a sofa and a TV.

We got the Eco Safari Tent as all the others were fully booked but loved every bit of it! The shared bathrooms weren’t too far away from the tents, modernly designed and were exceptionally clean!

Breakfast with a view.

All the tents come with air conditioning although if you’re here from November to January, you’ll want to roll down the tent windows and enjoy the cool, crisp air outside.

Did we mention there’s also a gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the lake?!

Cost:  From ~S$192/night (2 pax) How to get there:  5min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps)

2) Fun: The Kids Adventure Khao Yai

Located just 500m from the northern entrance of Khao Yai National Park , The Kids Adventure Khao Yai is a great mid-range alternative.

These are two storied lofts with attached bathrooms in a small but cosy space. However because the beds are located upstairs and cold air sinks, you might want to turn the air conditioning a little colder than you’re usually used to.

Being a kid-friendly accommodation, there are free archery and golf stations you can use anytime.

Cost:  From S$45/night (2 pax) How to get there: 7min walk from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

3) Budget: At Home Hostel

Photo credit: Booking.com

Located within walking distance from Pak Chong Night Market, At Home Hostel is one of the first few that opened in Khao Yai and is run by a friendly couple.

It’s great if you’re here without your own private driver as you can meet and share transport with the other guests staying here.

Cost: From ~S$27/pax (dorm bed) How to get there:  7min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

Khao Yai Custom Tours

How this custom tour works is, you’ll be assigned a driver who’ll pick you up from Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi, Don Muang or your hotel) and drive 3 hours north to Khao Yai. Each day, you can plan out a 12–hour itinerary to fit around three to five attractions depending on the distance.

*Pro-tip: Use code <THETRAVELINTERN> on Klook to get 5% off all activities with a min. spend of S$50 (discount cap at S$15). Apply the promo code upon checkout. One-time use only!

The regular salon cars will cater for three to four passengers but if you’re going with a bigger group, there’s also the option of picking a van for up to 10 passengers . We spoke to travellers in Khao Yai who booked a van with other tour agents and realised Klook’s prices were a lot lower!

If you’d like to follow our itinerary, here’s the concise version:

Day 1: Yellow Submarine Coffee Tank, Primo Piazza, Kua Kampan, back to accommodation

Day 2:  PB Wine Valley, Farm Chokchai, Ban Mai Chay Nam Restaurant, Hobbit House, Midwinter Green, back to the accommodation

Day 3:  Khao Yai National Park, Pak Chong Night Market

Day 4:  Chocolate Factory, Jim Thompson Farm, Suvarnabhumi Airport

For PB Wine Valley and Farm Chokchai , be sure to call up the office to make reservations for the tour at least one day before going. For us, we arrived on a Sunday and many tours were fully booked but our driver was generally quite flexible about making on-the-spot improvisations. Just be sure to have a list of all the places you intend to cover and your driver can help plan the most efficient route.

We hope you found this 4D3N Khao Yai itinerary useful!

4D3N Action-Packed Phuket Itinerary: Activities Not For The Faint-Hearted

75 comments.

Thanks for all the information. Really very helpful as we are planning for a trip in 2018 feb to Khao Yai.. can you also mention overall budget for 4d3n if we follow exactly the same itinerary?

Hi Deepti, we spent about SGD1100 for 2pax excluding flights from Singapore. It can be easily $3-400 cheaper if you pick alternative accommodations, and eat less at the restaurants!

Hi SGD1100, the KLOOK helps to book accommodations as well and included your for expenditure? How much did you spent on just booking the private car?

We paid around $570 for 4 days because we planned to visit places like the Jim Thompson Farm and the Hobbit House which are a little further out. If you’re not visiting these places, it’s around S$480 for 4 days. More info here: http://bit.ly/fussfree-Khaoyai

Hi Cherie, thank you so much for the recommendation. Yours is a private tour right? Any idea if the price same for mini van?

Nope it costs more but fits up to 10pax! You can check out the latest price by “pretending” to book!

Hi Cherie. For the klook package, is it necessary to book with the Guide option?

Nope! You can just pick the option of a driver but some drivers might have a limited command of English.

Hi! Thanks for these info it sure helps us for our upcoming trip in Mar18. One qn thou, does the customised tour by Klook includes the transfer to Lala Mukha? Thanks!:) Ida

Hi Ida, Yes! The tour is fully customisable so you just need to include it in your itinerary when planning the trip with your driver.

Hi Cherie, after reading yours, i totally fall in love & decide Khao Yai for my next vacay nex month for 4D3N…Do i need to book the driver for 4days? Pls advice.. tia

Awesome! If you’re following our itinerary, the 4 day package will fit perfectly 🙂

hi Cherie. Thanks for these info it sure helps us for our upcoming trip in Mar 28th to mar 31st . we will go with 4 adults ( me and my husband and our parent) and a toddler. i will skip your day 3 trip plan, any recommendation for us?

Hi Jenny! The National Park isn’t that tough as the waterfalls are well marked with clear trails and steps. For the elderly it might be tiring but if they are the adventurous kind, it shouldn’t be a problem! We saw many children and toddlers as well.

For ideas, this post might be more useful! https://thetravelintern.com/25-things-to-do-in-khao-yai/

With the family, you guys might want to travel slower and cover less places as well, so the extra day can be used to take things slow. Hope this helps!

– hendric

Hi hendric, during touring the khao yai national park, such as waterfall and the cliff, can we go by ourselves? or do we need to hire a guide? thanks.

It’s quite a straightforward walk from the respective car parks so you won’t need a guide if you’re driving or have hired a private car charter for the day (like us)! Alternatively, you could ask to be dropped off at the Visitor centre and hike to the waterfall and cliff from there. Guides are available for these longer hikes although there are maps provided and there are people who do it on their own too!

Total price for $1100 for 2 pax includes the meals, car and the entrance to all the attractions that was mentioned?

How does it work if we’re planning to spend a few days in BKK first before heading over to Khao Yai, say, we leave BKK in the afternoon and reach Khao Yai just in time to check in and have dinner? Was checking out the different packages at Klook, we can choose just a few places to go instead of their full list right, seeing how it’s customizable?

Thanks! Jacq

Hi jacqueline,

Yup you can do that too! Simply get the driver to pick you up from someone prominent in BKK. Preferably a hotel I guess so there’s an easy place to park and meet.

The list of places is only a suggestion so your route is entirely up to you!

Hi The klook package is per person or per car rate?

It’s per car!

Hi. May I know where exactly is Pa Deo Die cliff located in the national park? Can’t really find the location for it anywhere.

We couldn’t too! But it’s a popular area and our driver knew exactly where it was. 🙂

Planning 2pax to travel to Khao Yai for 5 days 4 nights But out bud is max $800each, will that work . Kindly share what are the key sites and restaurants are must visits ?

Hi Carmen, what we recommend is already in the itinerary! The sites and restaurants are not expensive, your main costs would be the car rental ( https://bit.ly/fussfree-Khaoyai ) and accommodation. The car rental costs and accommodation can be split so it shouldn’t be that bad!

Hi Cherie, Thank you for all your info and itinerary. I’ve booked with Klook on 2 vans for 18 pax. I’ve followed your itinerary for 4d 3n. Can I check with you, how do I booked all the entrance tickets? Is it possible for us to purchase the tickets as we arrived every destination? If need to book first, do you have all the links that you’ve booked?

Hey Carlyn, the only attractions that required pre-booking was the PB Wine Valley Tour (you can email them for reservations), Farm Chokchai (you’ll need to call them) and the Night Safari at Khao Yai National Park (reserved at the National Park’s visitor centre). The email and numbers are all available in the article! 🙂 All the other tickets can be purchased at the entrance.

However, since you’re travelling with a big group, you might also want to make reservations at Ban Mai Chay Nam too as it can get quite crowded over lunch.

Hi.. is the entrance fees to all the attractions place mentioned in the custom tour are inclusive? Price from Klook is only for the driver, fuel and car.?e.g. 4D Package B : S$570 you mentioned above? I’ve contacted Klook, the CS replied really confusing. Cant differentiate between Private Tour and Custom Tour. We cant decide which package to take and no confidence to ask Klook.

The entrance fees aren’t inclusive so you can choose activities that interest you most and pay when you reach the place. Our itinerary was picked based on what we wanted to see but you can mix and match with stuff from this non-exhaustive list: https://thetravelintern.com/25-things-to-do-in-khao-yai/

I’ve just studied the 2 listings and it looks like the Private Car Charter is only for a single day trip to and from Bangkok. Meaning you’ll have to return to Bangkok on the same day. Whereas for the Custom Tour we took, the driver picked us from the airport in Bangkok and only sent us back after our 4 days in Khao Yai. Every night, we’d be sent back to our accommodation in Khao Yai. Hope this helps!

Im planning family trip ( 1 Adult+1 eldery (age 67)+ 1 teen) to Bangkok/Khao Yai in December 2018. Undecide whether to visit on early-Dec or mid-Dec or 23-27 Dec . Which date would you recommend ? Can suggest some itinerary for 5D/4N trip , prefer to spend 3days or 4 days at KhaoYai. Thank you.

Don’t think there’s a difference for December, but I would personally avoid the Christmas season!

For a 5D4N itinerary, you can consider the other attractions here: https://thetravelintern.com/25-things-to-do-in-khao-yai/

Hi Cherie, I’m planning a 4 days trip but during last week of june so may not be the best weather. Will all the places in your article still be open? eg the PB vineyard and the Jim Thompson farm etc. in case they are seasonal.

I think it’s best to give them a call to check since you’ll need to make a booking beforehand anyway 🙂

Morning We are planning about 4-6pax to travel to Khao Yai from 22 Dec onwards 4 Days 3 nights. Can you help us on the Accomondations, Transport etc… What’s the cost for the package? Do you have itinerary for us?

Thank you Clara

Hi Clara, you can try booking here and follow our itinerary in this article. https://www.klook.com/activity/3738-khao-yai-custom-tour-from-bangkok/?aid=312

Hi Cherie Thank you very much for your sharing. I’m planning to go with my family members 8 pax on end Nov 18 for 3N in Khao Yai. Is it book the van with driver & give my own planned itineraries to the driver?

Hi Felice! Yup that’s what you do. During the booking process, you’ll be asked to list down your rough itinerary. The drivers are flexible, but it’s better to have a rough plan.

Hi, Thanks for the great write up. I’m planning for 4d3n in Dec. If I’m leaving on day 4 around 10am to catch the 4pm flight from BKK, then should I get the 4 days package or 3 days? If I take 3 days, then what about my transport to airport on day 4? If I take 4 days, then I would have wasted the day 4 since I’m leaving at 10am. Thanks!

Hi Lilian, Yup you are right! The driver follows you all the way to it’s either you sacrifice the time or find an alternative way. Perhaps you can end Day 3 in BKK then take a taxi or transfer from your hotel in BKK to the airport? That’s what another reader did as well.

May I know if you stayed at 1 accommodation throughout the 4D/3N itinerary? Are all the resort choices in Khao Yai accessible to all your 25 recommended activities?

We are planning to visit during the Christmas week which you caution to avoid. Why so?

Cheers, Sophia

Hi Sophia, we stayed in two different accommodations: – Lala Mukha Tented Resort (our favourite) – The Kids Adventure Khao Yai

You can easily base yourself at one location without worry because of your driver ( https://bit.ly/fussfree-Khaoyai ) No worries!

We mentioned avoiding Christmas as it’ll be crowded that’s all. Other than tourists, there will also be plenty of locals on holiday!

Hi , I’m planning to go Khao Yai during December for 4d3n. Are you able to provide me an itinerary and package rate for 3adult and 1 kid. Hotel we booked ourselves . Pickup at airport to khao yai and return to Bangkok.

Hi Mark, you can book here! https://bit.ly/fussfree-Khaoyai

Hi Cherie, Does the package A or B of each number of days apply to 1 driver to any number of pax ? Does that means – if 2 pax or 5 pax to a driver and choose package A – 3 days, the price is the same ?

Hi Lynette, the price applies to per vehicle!

Hi Cherie If I choose Package A – 4 days at S$482 , but I want to include some other places which are not covered in this package, does the driver accomodate and not charge us ? You mentioned many times driver is accomodating, thus places like Jim Thomson Farm and HobbitHouse can be requested on that day itself if we decide to change the itinerary? I don’t seem to be able to get a reply from KLOOK from some of my enquiries.

Hi Lynette, if it’s within a 50km radius of the national park, it should be ok! However it’s still best to get a confirmation from Klook’s helpdesk. They have a live chat that is quite responsive usually!

Hi, can the car accommodate 4 pax? Is it possible to include Saraburi Sunflower Field in our itinerary. I hope to know before booking.

Hi Jenn, unfortunately the car charter is up to 3 pax for the small car. However you can rent the bigger van that can accommodate up to 10! Should be possible to include!

According to Klook: Standard Car (Toyota Corolla or Vios): 3 Passengers + 3 Pieces of standard luggage Standard Van (Toyota Commuter): 10 Passengers + 5 Pieces of standard luggage The number of passengers and amount of standard luggage should be no more than 6 for car, no more than 15 for van.

Hi, When you visited the National Park is the driver with you the whole time bringing you to the different areas? Did you spend the whole day inside the park or go in and out? Is there food available for dinner if we stay on for the safari?

Hi Loges, Yes the driver drove us around as the areas can be quite far away. We spent majority of the time in the park. There are quite a number of food stalls near the main national park centre where you can get food. Not to worry!

Hi, im planning to go khaoyai in this November, but i am struggling on the transportation part. as i read your blog, you booked a car charter on KLOOK right ? can the car accomodate 4 person ? or more than 3 then i must book a van ==. secondly, the prices in KLOOK for per car is for one person or the whole car ?

The prices are in per car/van. And yup you are right that the car can only fit up to 3pax

Is it possible to do it in a DIY way? Or really need to book a private tour for this Khao Yai experience. Thanks.

Hi Mae, if you’re comfortable with driving you can rent your own car too! We just found this easier and more fuss free in Thailand.

Thank you very much for your sharing. Noted that follow the Plan B you went Jim Thomspson farm on the last day. However, i couldn’t see the location stated in the itinenery. Did you make a special request to the Klook or the Driver ? Can make the request 1 day in advance ? Look forward your kind reply. Thanks 🙂

Hi Sam Sam, For us we made our request on the first day and also indicated it when booking the transport.

I have been trying to email and chat with them on the klook website but it was no respond. Hope that you can help us on the following queries:

1. If we have 8 adults and 3 kids ages 12, 10 & 6, is it ok for us to book for the 10 pax Van?

2. If based on your above reply to others, am i correct that the itinerary can be customized according to ourselves rather than the one posted in Klook website? We are actually looking for 3 days 2 nights trip there?

3. We have 3 elderly travel with us, will the Haew Narok Waterfall, Pa Deo Die Cliff and Haew Suwat Waterfall needs to trek and not suitable for them?

Looking forward to your kind reply. Thank you and have a nice day!

2) Yes! That’s the great thing about the car charter. You can just pick the number of days and select the activities you’d prefer. Have you seen our article on 25 things to do in Khao Yai ? You can pick and choose from the possibilities there.

3) It’s been some time since we went but if my memory doesn’t fail me, only Haew Suwat was a little hard to get to. Pa Deo Die Cliff and Haew Narok Waterfall has proper walkways so if they’re okay with strolling, it’s quite accessible!

Unfortunately I can’t answer #1. If might not be allowed because of safety. Did you try the live chat function on the website? They usually reply quite quickly there!

I try but every time no answer…not sure why.

Btw the trip that you mentioned is “Khao Yai Custom Tour from Bangkok” rather than “Khao Yai All-Time Favorites Private Tour from Bangkok”, am i correct? i get a bit confuse with their package, and not sure i should book which one….If i based on those places that we wanted to visit, i think only Hobbit House is a bit far, others location should still within the 50km radius from Khao Yai National Park. I guess we will need to go with Package B if i understand correctly.

I am wondering what is the different if we book “Khao Yai All-Time Favorites Private Tour from Bangkok”, is that mean the itinerary has to follow exactly shown in the website?

I will love to visit Jim Thompson Farm but they only open in 8 Dec’18 which we have to make it a miss this time.

Btw, thanks a lot for your reply. It was a great help to us!

When I looked through Klook, they mention if our hotel is located other than Pakchung area, there is surcharge to pick us to & from hotel everyday..So if I were to take Package B 4 days as per you, is there any additional charges if I were to stay in Ozone hotel or any other hotels? and for all the hotels you stayed, is there any surcharge for picking you up?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Seok Hoon, I think you will have to check with Klook for the hotel you are staying in to see if it lies within their zone. However for the hotels we stayed at, we did not pay any surcharge.

Cherie, so glad to stumble upon your blog! Cos we are also doing a 4D 3N visit with Klook. I saw you wrote that the PB tours are only till noon. So I was thinking of going there in the morning then the National Park in the afternoon. I mainly want to see the Haew Suwat waterfall (cos you said it is easier to get to!) and Pao Deo Die cliffs. Do you think that is workable or should we go to the National Park in the morning?

sounds possible! Those two can be covered under 3 hours. If you stay till the evening, you can even sign up for the safari tour

I saw your post of this; “Hi Mae, if you’re comfortable with driving you can rent your own car too! We just found this easier and more fuss free in Thailand.”.

May u recommend the good car rental agent of service? is it meant that we could personally drive from Bangkok to Khao Yai? how’s about the road along the Khao Yai, and is it easy or nope to park the vehicles?

Thanks..really enjoyed ur story!

Hi Wanwan, We know it exists but unfortunately have not tried it before so we can’t comment too much! What we replied to Mae was all we are aware of.

Hi Cherie Thanks for the helpful blog. The sim card offered by Klook is 8 days unlimited data sim card. Can it be share with hotspot and for how many persons?

Many thanks.

Hi Angie, last we remembered it does not allow hotspot. But we’re not sure now!

Hi looking at your blog made me booked for a trip coming Nov19 via klook. As I am travelling with kids, would like to check with you the safety level in Khao Yai especially visiting night safari is it very dark/unsafe for kids since it is in the wild?

Hey Coco, it’s pretty safe!

Hi, i am unable to see the itinerary. It ends at arrival at BKK. Anyway to access the full itinerary? Thanks

Hi! Thanks for the heads up, it’s fixed now 🙂

Hi Cherie, we are planning to visit khao yai in Nov. we love your itinerary & plan to go with that. However, when i book the khao yai custom tour from BKK, the pick up field is only for hotel, not BKK Suvarnabhumi airport. I email Klook and was instructed to book a separate private car charter just to send us from BKK airport to khao yai. That does not look like the way you travel. could you plse enlighten me thank you

Hey Julia, thanks for writing in!

We’ve brought this up to Klook and they’re looking at making their listing a little clearer. Would you like them to contact you at the email you’ve provided?

Best Ways To Travel From Bangkok To Khao Yai National Park

These are the best ways to travel from Bangkok to Khao Yai National Park, so you can see the beauty of the park on a day trip or weekend.

Thanks to its impressive landscape, sheer size, variety of things to do, and proximity to the capital, Khao Yai National Park is Thailand’s most visited national park. Covering more than 2,000 square kilometers of grassland and forest, it isn’t a place you want to miss! This is one of the best day trips from Bangkok but can also be a romantic break from the city too.

Luckily, getting there isn’t that difficult, especially from Bangkok. 

Khao Yai is approximately 150km (93 miles) northeast of the capital and there are multiple ways to get there. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to travel from Bangkok to Khao Yai.

We’ll tell you which options are the most affordable, the quickest, and the most convenient.

How To Get From Bangkok To Khao Yai National Park

As far as distances go, the journey from Bangkok to Khao Yai isn’t a particularly long one. However, it isn’t always a quick one either. 

You’re looking at a journey time of at least two-and-a-half hours, no matter which route you take. The most affordable modes of transport can take even longer, with a route combining train and bus services taking up to 6 hours.

The best ways to get from Bangkok to Khao Yai are by bus, taxi, and car rental. They allow you to reach the national park in less time and without spending a fortune. 

There are many reasons to visit Bangkok but this fun day trip is worth taking a break from the city to visit and explore.

Let’s start with the most affordable option!

Bus from Bangkok to Khao Yai

The cheapest way to travel from the capital to Khao Yai National Park is by bus or minivan. Bus and minivan services leave Bangkok and head towards the national park via Mochit New Van Terminal.

Taking a bus to Khao Yai can cost as little as 265 THB ($7.30), and the journey usually takes between three and a half to four hours. There are drawbacks to getting the bus, but it is an excellent option for solo and budget travelers.

You’re tied to the bus schedule, but luckily, there are typically four departures from Mochit New Van Terminal every day. You can easily get to the van terminal using the MRT or a taxi.

The bus will take you from Bangkok to the Town of Pak Chong. From here, you’ll take a 40-minute bus ride to the national park. 

Taxi from Bangkok to Khao Yai National Park

Traveling to Khao Yai from Bangkok by private taxi is the most expensive way to get there, but it is also the most flexible and one of the fastest. With these benefits, it could be argued that the additional costs are worth it. 

You’ll reach Khao Yai National Park much faster and you’ll travel more comfortably. Countless private taxi companies will take you to the national park, all you have to do is book one.

You can easily book a taxi through websites like 12Go.asia . On 12Go.asia, you can choose from a variety of options, evaluate the prices, and specify a pickup location and time. 

You’ll be picked up from your front door and dropped off at the national park’s main gate in the space of two-and-a-half hours. Taxi prices tend to vary between $55 and $70 (2,000 and 2,542 THB).

This mode of transport is best suited to couples, families, and groups of friends who want to split the cost.

Driving to Khao Yai National Park from Bangkok

If you’re planning to travel around more of Thailand, you might want to consider hiring a car. Driving yourself to Khao Yai is the most convenient and quickest travel option as you’ll have full control over the journey.

You don’t have to worry about waiting for a taxi or bus, and you can set off whenever you like. You also have more freedom when it comes to traveling around the national park and its most popular attractions.

There are several car rental companies to choose from in Bangkok, so you have plenty of options. We recommend using Europcar because they have a very good reputation. 

They have multiple locations across the city and a small 5-seater car can cost as little as $22 (800 THB) a day. It is also worth noting that Europcar has a car pick-up point at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Once you’ve got your car rental, simply enter Khao Yai National Park on your GPS and hit go!

The Best Things To Do In Khao Yai

Now you know how to get to Khao Yai, let us show you the best things to do. Khao Yai National Park is jam-packed with awesome things to see and do, so you probably won’t be able to see it all, but we want to help you see the very best!

Here are some of the things you don’t want to miss during your visit!

Admire Haew Narok Waterfall

If there’s one place you don’t want to miss when visiting Khao Yai, it’s Haew Narok Waterfall. A sight to behold, this waterfall is the largest in the national park. 

It features a three-tier cascade and is most impressive after heavy rain. Surrounded by dense forest, this waterfall is approximately 150 meters tall and it can be reached on foot. 

The route to Haew Narok Waterfall is pretty impressive too. You’ll cross over gorges and rivers and find yourself surrounded by tall trees and wildlife. 

Hike Along One Of The Many Hiking Trails

There’s a very good chance you’re visiting Khao Yai because you enjoy hiking. If that’s the case, you’re in luck!

If you’re short on time, one of the seven short nature trails is your best option. These seven trails range in size, with some taking as little as 45 minutes and others taking over 6 hours. 

Perfect for newbie jungle trekkers, you’ll hike through mature forests following well-signposted trails. Landmarks you might pass along the way include Sai Sorn Reservoir, Haew Suwat Waterfall, and Pha Kluai Mai Campground.

Spot Wild Animals On A National Park Wildlife Tour

In Khao Yai National Park, you can spot some of Thailand’s most impressive wildlife, and the best way to see it is on a wildlife tour or safari. Thai National Parks operates a variety of different tours that give tourists the chance to experience local wildlife. 

There are one-day tours, overnight safari tours, birdwatching tours, multi-day tours, and so on. On a safari, you’ll have the opportunity to travel around the park in a safari jeep.

Species you have the chance of spotting include gibbons, otters, deer, and wild elephants. Make sure you pack some binoculars and your camera!

Feed Sheep In Primo Piazza

This one may sound quite bizarre, but Khao Yai is home to an Italian square called Primo Piazzo. Bringing Italy to central Thailand, the square features traditional-looking Italian terracotta architecture, gelato and cappuccino shops, and restaurants serving pizza and wine.

The area is also home to a farm, where you can feed sheep, alpacas, and donkeys. The scenery that surrounds the square is also well worth a mention.

Primo Piazza sits amongst towering hills and mountains that are covered in lush vegetation and forest.

Take A Dip In Ban Tha Chang Spring

Ban Tha Chang Spring is where most locals go to relax, spend time with friends, and escape the heat. This scenic spot features ponds fed by natural springs, so don’t forget to pack your swimsuit or trunks.

We recommend taking a dip in the clear turquoise waters before having a bite to eat in a shaded spot under the trees. You could take a picnic or buy a hot dish from one of the nearby food stores.

Visit The Khao Yai Art Museum

The Khao Yai Art Museum sits just outside the national park, but it’s easy to get to by car or taxi. This modern contemporary museum is home to work from leading Thai artists such as Chalermchai Kositpipat, Preecha Tha Thong, and Amphur Mueang Panini. 

The museum consists of a gallery, courtyard, and garden, so there’s plenty to look at. You’ll find unique sculptures, impressive paintings, and strange art pieces from across the nation. 

There is also a whole room dedicated to the late King of Thailand.

If you do love art, make sure to check out the Art in Paradise in Bangkok ; a less serious art museum but a great place for families to enjoy.

Watch A Rodeo Show At Farm Chokchai

Farm Chokchai is a 250-acre farm that you can find to the north of Khao Yai National Park. It is a popular tourist attraction, especially for families that have young children. 

Some of the best things to do at the farm include ATV riding, donkey riding, and animal feeding. However, the rodeo shows steal the show. 

Those of you who want to learn more about the farming process and how to make ice cream can take part in a two-and-a-half-hour tour.

In this blog post, we’ve shown you how to travel from Bangkok to Khao Yai and the best things to do. There are a variety of different ways to reach the national park from the capital, but traveling by bus, taxi, or rental car is your best option.

All you have to do now is decide which option suits you best and plan your trip. Don’t forget to visit the places we’ve shown you!

#1. Seek breathtaking Sunflower field

One of the main thing that attracts me come to Khao Yai is getting the chance to see sunflower FIELD!!!

Our plan A was to visit sunflower field at Pak Chong (nearby Pete Maze in Khao Yai, just within 20km from Birder’s Lodge). It is the nearest sunflowers plantation can be found in Khao Yai according to the research that I did before our trip. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any sunflower when we had arrived there. What we saw was just sunflower’s plant/leaves only. Guess that sunflowers already been harvested and the plants we saw were the second batch? lol !!! Anyway, we found stunning yellow flowers fields in Pak Chong instead of sunflowers. It is the same yellow flowers we saw later in PB Valley.

This is my first time seeing sunflower fields in real life! The weather was so sunny and hot until we couldn’t open our eyes. But I know it is the perfect weather for photography and I can bear with it in the magnificent sea of yellow.

Saraburi Sunflower Fields The one we found was called as Saraburi Sunflower field on Google Map : https://goo.gl/maps/o7x1N6UyigS2 Entrance fees: Free Season & Time: November to January. It is best to visit in the morning as the sunflowers will be blooming towards the sun. Avoid late afternoon when sunflowers are already pointing downwards.

Other places to hunt Sunflowers:

• Pak Chong “ Rai Maneesorn ” on Google Map : https://goo.gl/maps/KeP3w7m8m4x It is the nearest sunflower fields in Khao Yai. There should be few sunflower plantations around the area according to Google Map.
• “ Khao Jeen Lae Sunflower Field ” in Lop Buri(ทุ่งทานตะวันเขาจีนแล ลพบุรี). https://goo.gl/maps/wobUgmx5ZDk It is the famous sunflower field in Lop Buri. Source : http://bit.ly/2F9U0Ce

Referring to the info from the following link, you can find sunflowers on the border between Lop Buri and Saraburi provinces, along Pattana Nikhom – Wang Muang Road . Source :  http://bit.ly/2D0kyQE

#3. Feed Alpacas, Donkeys & Sheep at Primo Piazza

Walking along in Primo Piazza, you will feel like you no longer in Thailand but in a mini Italian village!

At Primo Piazza, you will get to see and feed Alpacas, Donkeys & Sheep. It was my first time seeing these 3 types of animal, don’t doubt haha! You will be given a bunch of grass at the entrance of the barn for the feeding! It is included in the entrance fees.

Alpacas!  I didn’t manage to take pictures of the sheep and donkeys because the distance between them was too near and I was so panic haha. There are many families bringing their children to Primo Piazza for them to experience feeding these cute animals.

There are few cafes and restaurants here, all of them are serving Italian cuisine or European style food. You can opt to sit down to enjoy a cup of coffee with a slice of cake or even grab an ice cream if you have no interest in photography or either feeding the animals here haha!

Departed from Chocolate Factory to the famous spot in Khao Yai – The Midwinter Green. It is a huge castle-like architecture with modern European design. In fact, this place is a multi-cuisine restaurant which mainly serves European styled dishes.

#7. Live your road trip dream in a caravan of Casa De Montana

Since we were renting a car in Khao Yai and we had all the freedom to go anywhere at any time we want, even stay at different accommodations for all the nights! Travel on a road trip in a recreational vehicle/Campervan is always my in my bucket list. Before living my road trip dream in a real winter weather and at a place like New Zealand, I decided to first experience staying in a static white caravan for our third night in Khao Yai! The place called Casa De Montana, located in the heart of the natures and mountains of Khao Yai!

Shop at Siam Square Soi5 Season Market

Café-hopping at Pool Time Café

# How to go Khao Yai from Bangkok (BKK) & Getting around in Khao Yai by car renting.

As there is limited public transport in Khao Yai, renting a car is highly recommended in Khao Yai. We also want a free and flexible trip, so we decided to rent a car and drive by ourselves! You can do it with your latest Malaysian driving license. Not much concern, just drive properly and follow the general driving rules. The driver’s seat is located on the same side with Malaysia one, the RIGHT side. For navigation, we just used Google Map or Waze for our entire road trip. The route to Khao Yai from the airport is also very easy, it’s a highway. My boyfriend and I take turn to drive. I was the one who drove back to Bangkok as my bf wasn’t feeling so well.

Our car was collected at BKK Don Mueang Airport, and from the airport to Khao Yai is nearer compared to Bangkok City. So, we decided not to waste our time, we picked up our car and drove to Khao Yai in 2 hours distance right after we landed at Don Mueang Airport. Upon collecting your car, you will be required to show your license, and credit card for deposit.

How to rent a car in Khao Yai:

We book our car at Thai Rent Car –   http://bit.ly/2F9VLeF

Type & Cost of car renting:

3 days around RM 300, Toyota Yaris Auto

Tips for car renting :

• Remember to check your car thoroughly upon picking up, everything looks fine and works fine by the time they pass you the key.
• Make sure you return your car on time to the same place with a full tank of petrol. Otherwise, fines & surcharges will be applied.

We were in an emergency. My bf wasn’t feeling well on the morning to return our car, so we had no choice and were late to pump petrol and return the car. The high cost of the fines and petrol were charged on us.

If you don’t wish to rent a car, maybe can try the following :

• KLOOK- http://bit.ly/2GZIw0y
• Contact your accommodation’s staff whether they can arrange transport for your trip.
• Check out http://bit.ly/2CRd5EN for other ways to go Khao Yai.

What to eat on the way to Khao Yai from BKK :

If you plan to drive to Khao Yai right after landed at airport or 2 hours ride is just too long for you and you worry you have nothing to feed your stomach on the way. Don’t worry! Just refer to the Google Map, you actually can find: 7-eleven, Big C, KFC, Burger King, Starbucks, local steakhouse (สตง สเต็ก), etc. along the highway to Khao Yai.

We dropped by a local food court called Kao Kaeng Baan Suan 2 on Google Map. It is located the right middle of our route from the airport to Khao Yai, which you can easily spot beside the highway. Countless mouth-watering local food stalls and souvenir vendors can be found here. The whole place was crowded with local people especially the students.

We never eat here but bought 2 boxes of cake, as we felt curious about the super long queue in a cake shop located beside the food court. Both sides of the food court have the same cake shops too. What made us even surprised was each of them not just buying 1 box but a stack of boxes.

# Tips of the trip

Most of the people in Khao Yai only speak in Thai, it is quite hard to communicate when you have a question along the trip. So, it is best to do your research well or prepare Google Translate on the time. You can bookmark all the places you wish to go in your Google Map account as reminders and as navigation guides. Khao Yai is a small region, so do not worry you get lost there, as long as keep yourself connected to the web.

Hai..would like to ask. Is it possible if we just rent the car from the counter without booking. Thank you. Nice blog and so informative anyway.????

Hihi, I don’t think can rent a car on the spot at the counter, it is advisable to book in advance and they will prepare the car outside of the airport for you. Thanks for reading my blog and hope my answer helps you. ????

That is a very good tip especially to those new to the blogosphere. Short but very accurate information… Many thanks for sharing this one. A must read article!

Thanks and glad it is helpful to you!

I was recommended this blog by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as no one else know such detailed about my problem. You are amazing! Thanks!

Thanks for posting this article. It’s informative and the layout is great! Just a question: Do you face any issue with parking in Khao Yai, such as availability of parking lots? How do you pay for the parking charges?

Hi Rac! Thanks for your compliments! We experienced no issues with parking as there is no crowd at all and basically all free of charge ya.

I like your blog so much, it gives me so much info which I can follow such as Khaoyai and Taiwan. I’m arranging the trip this 15 November 19 but quite disappointing if I can’t view sunflowers. Thks

Hi Christina! Really glad and happy to hear that! Thank you for reading and your compliments mean so much to me!^^

I’m planning to visit Khao Yai on this coming Nov with mum & sis. May I know where you stay?

Hi Iris! We stayed at Birder’s Lodge for first night, then Lala Mukha Tented Resort and then end our 3rd night at Casa De Montana.

Hi! May I ask how you edit your pictures? or what is the filter that you used because they are beautiful! <3 I loved them!

Hi Angela! Thank you! I used Lightroom edit my pictures using my own preset/filter 🙂

Hi. We will be travelling to KY as a family with kids aged 4-9yr in mid Dec. Would u recommend that we stay at the same accommodation options you chose? Thanks v much

Hi Cherry! I would recommend staying at Birder’s Lodge or Lala Mukha but in bigger room option 🙂 They have other bigger room or/and can add mattress for you! Hope this helps you!

Bangkok to Khao Yai

Last updated on August 8, 2023

Posted on August 8, 2023 April 11, 2023 by Kamolchat Thanaditsayakun

Thailand’s capital city, Bangkok, is sure to overwhelm your senses with its hectic atmosphere and always busy streets, yet it’s a city you need to visit at least once in your life! Whether you want to see its amazing sights – the temples, the palaces, the markets – or you’re searching for some new nightlife, Bangkok has a little, and a lot, of everything! There’s no getting away from the fact that this is a crazily busy city though, and once you’ve spent a little time in Bangkok you may be seeking somewhere more tranquil. Just a short distance to the north of Bangkok is the amazing national park of Khao Yai. The first national park in Thailand, Khao Yai is popular but still surprisingly quiet. It’s a beautiful place of waterfalls, wildlife, tropical forests and grasslands, and is the third largest national park in the country.

Options for Travel from Bangkok to Khao Yai

As distances go in Thailand, it’s really not very far to get from Bangkok to Khao Yai with the shortest road distance being around 125 kilometers (78 miles). That being said, it’s still not an especially fast trip due partly to the amount of traffic in and around Bangkok, and because once you’re outside of the cities the roads aren’t always in the best shape. Traveling by bus is an option, or you can go by minibus, or traveling by private taxi is a popular way to go from Bangkok to Khao Yai, albeit more expensive. Trains are also another option, although these won’t save you time or money over traveling by bus.

Bangkok to Khao Yai by Private Taxi

Although going by private taxi from Bangkok to Khao Yai is the most expensive way to travel, it is also the most flexible and the fastest. With these benefits, you could argue that the additional cost is well worth it, as you get to Khao Yai National Park faster and more comfortably when traveling by private taxi.

The benefits begin right at the booking stage. You can book private taxis operated by several different companies, all through the travel website, 12Go.asia . On this website you can see the variety of options, including prices, types of vehicle, and pickup and drop off options. So, you can easily compare the different taxis, and then book online with instant confirmation available with most of these operators, as well as the option for refund should your plans change nearer the date of travel.

Taxis are so flexible because you can book them to pick you up from any hotel within Bangkok city, or even from Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport. And, when you book, you specify the time of day or night that you would like the taxi to come for you. This is great if you have a fixed schedule and want transport options to work for you, rather than the other way around. You don’t have to worry about getting to a bus station, waiting for a bus, or dealing with delays, and only being able to travel from Bangkok to Khao Yai at the time that the bus leaves. This may not work well for any existing schedule, whereas going by taxi allows you to plan exactly when you want to leave.

On 12Go there are quite a few different taxi companies to choose from. Their prices are very similar so that they remain competitive, but you will see differences in price according to the size and type of vehicle. The cheapest options are Comfort and Economy cars that are really only designed to have two passengers, but, if you pay a little more you can get a larger SUV that is suitable for up to 4 passengers, or you can go for a 9-passenger van. These are both great options if you’re traveling with another couple, or with family or friends as the private taxis become a very affordable option when divided by more passengers.

Traveling from Bangkok to Khao Yai by taxi should take in the region of 3 hours, so this is the quickest way to get there too.

Bangkok to Khao Yai by Bus or Minivan

You can save yourself a lot of money if you’re traveling alone, by opting for a minivan or bus from Bangkok to Khao Yai. For independent or budget travelers, this is a popular way to travel because it’s so cheap, and minivans are always readily available for trips like this.

There are drawbacks, of course, that come with the cheaper cost. First is the lack of flexibility – you’re tied to leaving Bangkok depending on the bus schedule. There will be a few different operators to choose from, but generally they keep to a similar schedule offering roughly four departures every day. The next drawback is that these minivans will not take you all the way to Khao Yai National Park, instead arriving at the nearest town of Pak Chong. From here you’ll have to take another van or a taxi to the national park itself. This adds time and an element of hassle to the trip, not to mention the fact that you have to get yourself to Mochit New Van Terminal in Bangkok before you can go anywhere!

Bangkok to Khao Yai by Train

Going by train from Bangkok to Khao Yai is one more option you could consider, however, as mentioned above, the trains won’t actually save you any time or money compared to the buses, and when you add in a taxi transfer – which will be required from the train station to Khao Yai – you’re getting into prices that could even be comparable to traveling by private taxi.

Having said this, traveling by train in Thailand is something that you do for the experience more so than cost or time savings! There are two different train options. You can travel all the way to Pak Chong on the train. This gets you closer to Khao Yai but takes longer; roughly 3 hours from Bangkok’s Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal. The second option is to get a train from Phaya Thai Station in Bangkok to Pak Phli. This takes only about 2 to 2.5 hours, but you then have a longer taxi journey from here to Khao Yai. It will take another 70 minutes or so, and add to the cost.

Minivans, buses and trains are all viable options, but for their flexibility and speed, traveling by private taxi from Bangkok to Khao Yai is a great idea and is even quite economical if you’re traveling with several other people and can share the cost!

Hotel Mys Khao Yai – a Sanctuary for the Soul

Contributors are not employed, compensated or governed by TD, opinions and statements are from the contributor directly

by Andrew J Wood

Photo: Hotel Mys Khao Yai – a Sanctuary for the Soul Exclusively for Adults

THAILAND: Nestled 190 km north of the bustling metropolis of Bangkok lies a tranquil retreat within the beautiful Khao Yai National Park – Hotel Mys Khao Yai. ‘Mys’ is a Scandinavian word which translates to ‘coziness’ in English. It was my observation that ‘Mys’ also promises relaxation and an escape from the rigours  of everyday life.

The Skylight Pool, a cantilevered marvel of modern design. Made to resemble a clear mountain stream looking down into the world below. 

Exclusively for adults, this boutique resort offers a sanctuary where guests can unwind amidst pristine surroundings. Our recent two-night stay provided a glimpse into a world of luxury coupled with nature – altogether peaceful and embracing, invoking a sense of wellness and calm.  

Upon arrival, we were shown to our pool villa. The water was pristine and I immediately wanted to jump in! The saltwater pool, cocooned by high walls and greenery it was  completely private and with its mountain backdrop it felt secluded and serene. A large sliding window opens to a bathtub, inviting indulgent pampering in the open air.

Apart from the full sized bathtub,  the large marble bathroom has a separate shower-room, and a separate WC. Well designed and most comfortable.

The villa’s living room was well appointed with a bar, cosy settees, a second TV, coffee and tray tables. A great space to chill, watch TV, chat, play games or eat and drink. 

Adjacent is the entrance vestibule with a tree swing! 

Evenings were a culinary delight, where fine dining awaited. Truly a gastronomic journey, 

with each dish a masterpiece in flavour and presentation. From tantalising starters to mouthwatering desserts, every bite was a revelation. The pièce de résistance? A warm quince pudding with wild blossom honey, butterscotch and homemade sweet corn ice-cream, a delightful naughty treat! 

Morning dawned, and it was time for breakfast with organic and locally sourced produce. Afterwards a leisurely dip in the Skylight Pool, the resort’s signature glass-bottomed pool made from one large piece of acrylic over 10cm thick, that stretches out over the hotel entrance. 

The Skylight Pool, is a marvel of modern design, one thinks of a clear mountain stream looking down into the world below, with V-shaped supporting pillars mirroring the branches of the forest.

The resort’s attention to detail was evident at every turn, from plush amenities, high-end equipment including coffee machine, kettle, Bluetooth speaker, large flatscreen WiFi TVs, power showers, deluxe hairdryer, L’Occitane toiletries, digital scales, cute flip-flops, slippers and the softest bathrobes I have ever worn! The bedroom was large with an equally large flatscreen TV with a rotating wall mount. The bedding and linen were luxurious and full picture windows brought the outside in. The windows flooded the room with light and slid open to the pool area and a fully enclosed small private garden. And for those like me that need darkness to slumber – black out curtains  ensure a restful sleep.

Architecture at Hotel Mys Khao Yai seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings. Rooms are inspired by the forest, with the generous use of wood. Leaf patterns adorn screen-printed glass. The room has many natural accents and the use of warm hue ties the design naturally together. 

As we bid farewell to this idyllic retreat, we reflect on its charms and impeccable service – a haven where luxury meets nature in perfect harmony. Hotel Mys Khao Yai is not just a destination; it’s an experience to savour, a sanctuary for the soul amidst the majesty of Khao Yai National Park.
