Just a few hours out of Bangkok, Thailand’s stunning central region offers the perfect escape. While hiking the trails of Khao Yai National Park is one of the most popular things to do here, there’s so much more to see and do.
Horseback Riding
Ditch the hiking shoes; horse riding through the countryside is one of the best ways to take in the rural beauty. The park offers excursions through the wilderness on horseback, while nearby ranches provide classes for those looking for some guidance.
Wine Tasting in PB Valley
Step into PB Valley, Thailand’s most celebrated vineyard, and discover a new side of Khao Yai’s charm. This award-winning estate offers guided tours through the nation’s finest grapevines, tastings of locally produced Shiraz and Chenin Blanc, and a farm-to-table restaurant overlooking the valley. Located 25 minutes from Lacol Khaoyai, the vineyard is easy to reach from most Khaoyai hotel rooms.
Khao Yai Art Museum
In addition to exploring the outdoors, the region’s indoor attractions are also worth visiting. Khao Yai Art Museum, for instance, blends contemporary Thai art with the beauty of an outdoor sculpture garden.
Pimo Piazza
Transport yourself to an idyllic Italian village, right here in the heart of Thailand. Designed to resemble a charming Tuscan town, this unique location is fitted with cafes, boutique shops, and even a mini petting zoo.
