Palio is located in Khao Yai, Pak Chong District, Thailand. Chill out at this Italian style town in Thailand. It’s a place to stop by after all tiring activities. Definitely a great place for photo shooting. Nothing much to buy as it’s much more expensive to buy from here than in the night market. It’s nearby location to some resorts and hotel. Pros: Good for taking tonnes of photos, No entrance fee. Cons: Limited shops, Souvenirs more expensive compare to night markets, Quite hard to find the toilet (ask around if u need to). Suggested Duration: 1-2 hours. Operation Time: 9am-7pm. #thailand

Looking for a break from the city? Khao Yai National Park, Thailand’s oldest and one of its most stunning national parks, offers a perfect blend of lush jungle, dramatic waterfalls, and exciting wildlife — all just about 3 hours from Bangkok.

Dense forests, scenic viewpoints, and winding trails make it ideal for nature lovers and hikers alike. The park is home to: Elephants roaming free, Gibbons, hornbills, deer, and even black bears. The Park attracts bird watchers from all over the world. Highlights You Shouldn’t Miss The breathtaking Haew Suwat Waterfall (made famous by The Beach) Haew Narok Waterfall – a three-tiered fall that crashes dramatically into a gorge. Evening wildlife watching – spot porcupines, civets, and elephants on guided night drives. Pha Diao Dai Cliff – a viewpoint where clouds float below you on misty mornings.

1.Midwinter🏰 Midwinter Khaoyai offers a magical, castle‑like dining experience with upscale cuisine, live entertainment, scenic mountain views, and charming festive decor.

#Bangkok Transportation Guide As an expert on in-depth travel in Thailand, I have a secret secret of this pristine treasure that 90% of tourists don’t know about – Khao Yai National Park! Covering an area of ​​2,168 square kilometers, it spans four provinces including Nakhon Ratchasima and Saraburi. It is the most complete monsoon forest in continental Asia and a summer resort. The temperature in winter can drop below 10°C, which is in sharp contrast to the scorching heat in Bangkok! Transportation Guide: - Self-driving: Starting from Bangkok, drive along Highway 304, the whole journey takes about 2.5-3 hours. The journey is smooth and the road conditions are good. Self-driving tours are supported in the park, which is suitable for travelers who pursue freedom. - Bus: From Bangkok's Mo Chit Eastern Bus Terminal, take a bus to Pak Chong, which takes about 3 hours. Once you arrive at Pak Chong, take a local songthaew or taxi, which takes about 15 minutes to the park gate. - Charter/Rent a Car: Tourists who do not want to drive themselves can book a charter car service through their hotel or travel agency, which will pick them up directly from their Bangkok hotel to the park, making the whole journey comfortable and convenient. - Train: Take the train from Hua Lamphong Station in Bangkok to Nakhon Ratchasima Station, then transfer to a bus or charter car to the park. However, the train journey is long, about 4-5 hours, so you need to arrange your time reasonably.

This is my fourth trip to Thailand this year, and this time I went to Khaoyai, near Bangkok. It's a popular vacation spot for Thais in Pak Chong District. There are many hotels here; the last two pictures are of the hotel. The national park is suitable for self-driving. We drove for six hours inside and didn't encounter any wild animals, except for many monkeys. If you have the car window open, monkeys will suddenly jump in. We were so scared that we didn't dare to open the windows again. In terms of food, there are many good restaurants here. We ate at Ribmannn, where the steak was very good, costing around 300/400 THB per person. There's also a Michelin-recommended Thai restaurant, Penlaos, which is also very delicious, costing about 100 THB per person. I especially liked the Lao vegetable soup there.
