A Luxurious Retreat at InterContinental Khao Yai, Thailand

Nestled amidst the lush hills of Khao Yai, the InterContinental Khao Yai is a whimsical escape that blends vintage glamour with modern luxury. Designed to evoke the golden age of train travel, the resort’s elegant suites are housed in restored vintage train carriages and sleek glass villas, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding rainforest. Waking up to mist-covered mountains and the gentle sounds of nature was pure magic. The infinity pool, seemingly merging with the horizon, became my favorite spot to unwind. Dining at Papillon, the resort’s French-inspired restaurant, was a culinary delight—each dish artfully presented with locally sourced ingredients. What truly set this stay apart were the thoughtful touches: a private balcony with a deep-soak tub, personalized butler service, and even a "train ticket" key card. The resort’s proximity to Khao Yai National Park allowed for unforgettable jungle excursions, returning to the comfort of plush robes and champagne at sunset.
